Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, ripped.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
News need advice, so you don't have.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
As we can.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Shooter's gonna help.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Come Man Dix is the Troubleshooter Show. Now, Tom Martino, Hey,
Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show. Three oh three
seven one three talks even one three eight two five five.
I'm bringing in the studio Mark and sues, and I'm
waiting for Jeff Vick camera transmission. I think he's gonna
show up for car Friday next summer. Oh, you're he's

(00:40):
at the studio. Okay. I thought he was coming to me. Okay,
that's good. He's at the studio. I don't see his
his funny face, so.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
You got him shine on the back of my head
coming off the camera.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
All right, good, all right, good, So you're there. Then
then I had sent you a text saying the Bears
doc good, excellent, excellent. Let's talk three oh three seven
one three talk seven one three eight two five five. Anyway,
So I want to talk about this somehow, some way, Mark,

(01:10):
you you took a call because the guy sent us
a follow up email because I don't recognize the problem,
so I figured you did. And for those listening, we
take problems questions complaints and work on all kinds of stuff.
And I have an update on Drew as well, and
let's do it with one wacko dude.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Well, you know Mark, Okay, he's very he is a
very strange and usual. But he wrote me a letter
and and now he's saying I made a pledge and
a promise to him and don't go back on it.
What was the pledge in promise? Okay, I did say
to him, I want to help you. Give me your
username and password. I want to help you. I want

(01:53):
to edit your your GoFundMe. I want to make a
better a plea for you on that go fund me.
But in order he wants me to change the phone
number to mine and take the calls. I'm not going
to do it. I'd never pledge that. What I said
was i'd help him with the description. Here's the problem
with Drew. He's not this is not I mean, I

(02:13):
know he feels that this is going to be his
end all.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
He's going to be out of recap his latest thing.
Though I don't think people really know what I know.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
I've known him over twenty years. Okay, he's listened to
me when I was in New York and on WABC,
and he lives in Jersey and he's followed me for
years and years and years, and when I was nationally
syndicated out there, he listened to me and I did
help him on a few things. Did he bring a
big story to you at one point or no? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah, And so I forget what it was had

(02:43):
to do with investments, but yeah, no, No, the guy
is a good researcher and he has a lot of
credibility with me. As far as certain issues. There have
been times I think that he he just it seems
like conflict follows this many and he'll say no, but
and he'll say he's attacked because of his standings with

(03:05):
his faith and all of that. But I don't want
to get into that right now. Here's what I want
to tell you. His most recent thing is he had
he's in his late seventies, but he said that he
was injured. There are two personal injury suits, isn't that right? Day?
Two personal injury suits hold on a go Aheazer.

Speaker 6 (03:27):
There are two ongoing personal injury cases.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
Too, And we talked, we researched this, but anyway, bottom
line is he said there was a guy backed perpendicular
to a curb up on the curb. Now it wasn't
alongside like parking parallel. He was perpendicular ninety degrees to
the curb. And it was at night. I think he

(03:51):
said it was a night or was low visibility.

Speaker 7 (03:53):
It sounded like it was at night, and the guy
had his tailgate up or the tailgate was going up
and down.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
I don't recall but the exact details, but Drew walked
into it and he said that it was negligence on
this guy's part, but then he had another personal intrigue,
so he said after that he couldn't work anymore. He was,
you know, And so he's running out of money and
he figures he'll be out of money in December. So

(04:21):
they want to go fund me, and gofund me is terrible.
The gofund me side he has is absolutely terrible. It
talks about Kamala Harris more than anything, and how she
made him broke, and it doesn't talk about an out
of work preacher who's injured and needs help. And I

(04:41):
told him, you know what, you need to edit this thing.
But I think he's getting the false impression that I'm
going to have some magical power when I do it,
and I'm not taking control of his GoFundMe. I'm not
going to do it. And when I go in to
try to edit the verifications go to his phone number,
I can't and I'm not going to change it to

(05:03):
my phone number. So he writes me these guilt emails
that quite frankly, I kind of I don't like it.
You promised, you pledged me, you did this, you did that,
you know, And he says, you need to help me. Okay,
I'm going to try to help them. And we did

(05:24):
research his lawsuits. They're very weak at best and will
take maybe five to ten years.

Speaker 8 (05:32):
Tom, I think it's very important for Drew to understand
that regardless of the merit of his two personal injury cases,
any judgment or any settlement for that matter, well it's far, far,
far far in the future, and his financial situation is
so dire that neither of these cases can possibly help
him get out of this situation, not.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Now, and I don't think the YouTube will either. I'm
just a little distressed over this, So let's let's just
keep going here. Man, That's all I can do. Let
me take some calls and I'll bring again Mark and
Seue's back. It's just truly.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Oh on.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Now I got everybody in there. Good, thank you, I
even see ugly Doc. And let's talk about your problem. Jessica,
how can we help you? And then Mark, I'm going
to go over that other one with the rent till.
I believe that was sent as a result of a
call you took yesterday. Jessica, what's going on?

Speaker 9 (06:33):
Hi, thank you station my call. I am having some
issues with Stevens and Lexus of Lakewood some service they
did on my car.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
What's going on? Now? You have a Lexus and what
twenty ten Lexus? What happened?

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yep?

Speaker 9 (06:48):
So I brought it in for a routine oil change
and it was time for a break job, so I
had that added on and done as well. They sent
me on my own.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
By the way, sh had mentioned, Stephenson is no longer Stevenson.
I mean it might be called Stephenson. But okay, so
what happened? You took it in for service.

Speaker 10 (07:08):
Yep, that's the.

Speaker 9 (07:08):
Break job done, they said. Everything else looked great. About
a week later, I was hearing a noise from my
tire and scheduled an appointment to take it back in
and on my way there, the tire fell off my
car while I was driving it.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
This was a week.

Speaker 6 (07:23):
Later, the tire or the.

Speaker 9 (07:24):
Whole wheel, the whole Yeah, the whole wheel with the
somb written.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
This was a week later.

Speaker 9 (07:33):
Yeah, it was about two weeks by the time I,
you know, had that appointment after.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Will fallen off? Two weeks later? What do you think, Jack? Wait? Wait, well, wait,
hold on one second. When did the noise start? The noise?

Speaker 9 (07:47):
Yeah, the noise started about a week after, and it
was it wasn't anything that I was very alarmed with.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
It just sounded like okay, So a week later, okay,
she heard a noise a week later, and then a
week after that the wheel fell off.

Speaker 10 (08:02):
Yeah, the wheel fell off.

Speaker 11 (08:03):
As I was thinking it back to the.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Was it why get or anything at any point? And
which wheel was it?

Speaker 9 (08:11):
My front driver's side? And they worked on that right, Yeah,
they took all the wheels, they did all the breaks
on all the tires.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
So so okay. So then Jeff Mark asked Aptley, what
what do you think I mean?

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Usually if you have loose lug nuts, it's going to
happen a lot faster than that. To make literally happen.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
What would make the noise? What would make that noise?
What kind was it? A grinding noise? What kind of noise?

Speaker 9 (08:38):
Yeah, it was like a grinding noise that it would
only really happen when I was driving slow and it
looked like one of the lug nuts snapped off. And
then I'm sure all the rest.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
What do they say now though? When you brought it
back to them?

Speaker 9 (08:51):
Yeah, when I first brought it back, you know, they said,
this is not your fault. We'll take a look at
it and see what's going on.

Speaker 11 (08:57):
We're so sorry.

Speaker 9 (08:58):
And then it took them a full another two weeks
and they got back to me yesterday and said that
my aftermarket rims are the issue and that they don't
have proper spacing for my car. But they did not
tell me that when I got the job done, So
that feels like something they should have told me when
I got the job done.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
That's entirely possible, and that's actually really easy to miss
when you're miss mixed matching, you know, something aftermarket with
something on we am. I have a very good friend
with a tire shop, but don't you with several different
vehicles where.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Don't you think they're responsible for this tire falling off
or not.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
They should have some culpability. Yes, I don't know that
they should share the whole thing, but yeah they do.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
How long did you have those rims prior to bringing
it in for the break jap?

Speaker 12 (09:41):
I have.

Speaker 9 (09:41):
I've had the car for six years.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Can't be tied again.

Speaker 9 (09:45):
I've had them swapped by another tire company. I have
two sets of tires.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yes, I don't.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
So the off set wouldn't be the offset and the
bolt pattern.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
What would it be?

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Not necessarily the offset on the bolt pattern. But you know,
most lucknuts now are closed off on the top, not
like when you and I were kids and which went
all the way through like a nut.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
So if you run it down at bottoms out before
it's got that time that it takes a few weeks
if you have just enough tork on it, because you're
just when you're talking down a nutther of bulls, you're
only stretching the threads. Got it, Okay, So it's going
to take some time to back that off.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
I got it. So they're refusing to do anything, is
what you're saying.

Speaker 9 (10:23):
Yes, so far, I've been trying to get a hold
of the manager just see if there's anything they can do.
But they said that it's not they're not liable for any.

Speaker 5 (10:33):
I think we may a call over to the service department,
Kelly and see if we can't get them on.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Well.

Speaker 9 (10:40):
I think I have a number as well if you yeah,
give it to Kelly.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
But I mean what I mean, really? What do you think? Tom?
Do you think they should be paying for this? I do?

Speaker 5 (10:51):
I do, Yes, she had it six years and these
people can't get it right. I'm sure she's had tires
put on or tires rotated and whoever that did it right?

Speaker 4 (11:01):
Well, not to mention she's got four of those tires
on there, four of those wheels on their one out
of failure.

Speaker 5 (11:06):
Yeah, I think you're trying to cover something up. Hey,
let's let.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Who should we give this to to make some phone calls? Doc?
Do you want to call over there and Doc? What
have you been working on? I know yesterday?

Speaker 13 (11:20):
Hey, I got a great follow up for you, Tom.

Speaker 3 (11:23):

Speaker 3 (14:01):
Yeah and praise three h three seven seven zero two
seven seven six. Okay, so let's go back.

Speaker 13 (14:06):
I got that update for you, Tom.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Okay, let's do that, and then Jessica back to Jessica
to see what we can do for her with Stevenson
go ahead doc. Which one was this?

Speaker 13 (14:16):
Michelle called out our Cadillac escalation.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
You twenty Cadillacs. She said that at one hundred and
fifty thousand miles from Harlan Automotive and Retridge. The next day,
the engine light went on misfire. It showed the code
said misfire an improper function of two cylinders. Dealers supposedly
fixed it. The same day, the engine light went back on,
got the same error codes. Two weeks later, the dealer

(14:39):
says the engine shot. They will replace the engine, which
is amazing because she got no warranty with this whatsoever.
She bought it as is. Then the engine light came
on again after the replacement engine. Oh my god, this thing.
And by the way, the replacement engine was used. So
the dealer now says, look, you know what, We'll trade
you out of the vehicle if you want, but we've
done all we can for you. What's going on, Doc?

Speaker 14 (15:00):
Well, apparently they heard the deputy doc was on the
case because after uh I said I was going to
take the case, they called Michelle and they are going
to She's going to return the car and get all
her money back.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
That is the way to do it. You want to
know why, because they did not sell it properly in
my opinion, because she did not have that the missions voucher.
So they're going to undo the deal. They're going to
undo the deal. That is. So is she happy?

Speaker 13 (15:31):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Now.

Speaker 14 (15:32):
The thing is, she said she doesn't have a car,
So I said, look.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Well wait wait wait wait, did she trade a car.

Speaker 14 (15:38):
In I she no, I don't think so, I don't
know what they did, all right, But she said she
didn't have a car, So I told her, look, get
a rental car for Friday and Saturday. Go find yourself
in another car and get a make sure you get
a pre purchased inspection done.

Speaker 13 (15:56):
Don't wind up in the same boat that you are
with the.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
Cadillac exactly now, Jessica. So I believe that Stevenson has
some culpability here, as everyone in the studio does. So
what do you so? What? What? What are they willing
to do for you? Yeah?

Speaker 9 (16:15):
I mean that a lot of the first time they
came back to me with the assessment was yesterday. I
started calling the manager this morning. But yesterday they said
that they're not going to cover it in any way.

Speaker 15 (16:26):
So next steps?

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yeah, wait, wait, wait, well what do they they just said,
hold on? Exactly what did they I don't mean exact words,
but did they say, like, basically, we're not responsible for that.

Speaker 9 (16:41):
They didn't specifically say it in those words, but they
gave me a quote and a bill, and I asked
that they would be covering how much?

Speaker 3 (16:48):
How much to fix it? Yeah?

Speaker 9 (16:51):
Four thy seven hundred to fix it and that's not
including some body work that I would also need done separately.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
And they are the only ones that were on that.

Speaker 9 (17:02):
Yeah, within that timeframe, they would have been the only one, Jeff.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
And it was two weeks. Jeff. I mean, come on, man,
they can't they can't just wash their hands of this
damn thing. Are they saying she should have known better
than to ride around?

Speaker 4 (17:14):
Did they, Jessica, did they have a driveability complaint? She
would have no reason to step out of the car. Okay,
So something like a scraping noise like she was describing before,
she wouldn't necessarily understand that that's not even just a
stone stuck inside the backing plate. So I think that's,
you know, a very weak argument.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Okay. I think two things.

Speaker 5 (17:35):
One, we put deputy doct or someone on this to
make the call over there and see if they'll actually
be reasonable, because, in my opinion, if she is telling
the truth on everything, these guys, oh were that repair,
I think they screwed up. I think Stevenson, if this
is the way it's going to go over at Stevenson, now,
that really sucks.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
But we give I think, well we do. I agree.
I'm going to let let Deputy de call over there.

Speaker 5 (17:59):
But they go to anything, Tom, This is perfect for
small claims.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
It absolutely positively is Mark, absolutely, and I think you'd
win or I think that they'd settle for some I
think just settle all day long.

Speaker 5 (18:14):
In fact, I wish they would go to court on
it if she follows through with a small claims action,
because then she can come on the air once a
week and brag how they tried to screw her and
the court said, no, you can't do it.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
Yeah, Jessica, you this is wrong. You know it's not
a coincidence that your wheel fell off, and we you know, look,
we're gonna we're gonna give this over to Deputy d
right now to make some calls. And then what I'd
like you to do is, uh is stand by when

(18:47):
we talk to you. We may have to have you
do a small claims action against them, and I think
you'll you'll prevail. But let's take it one step at
a time. Three oh three seven one three talk three
oh three seven one three eight two five five Compass
Insurance talking about cars, and let's talk about all insurance.

sixteen twenty two. Tom Martino three O three seven one
three talk three oll three seven one three eight two
five five all right, Mark had a case. Do we

(20:18):
have the consumer up or you just want to talk
about it early.

Speaker 5 (20:21):
I'd like to get him up. I think Kelly's reaching
out to him. But he called up yesterday and he said, hey,
I talked to the old apartment manager. Our one year
lease was up, and I said, hey, we're only going
to be here another month or two. What should I do?
And he said that that manager said nothing. You already
have language in your lease to where a few stay

(20:43):
past the twelve months. It just goes to a month
to month. But it's more money. It's like thirty eight
hundred a month compared to whatever. So they stayed an
extra month, then gave the thirty day notice that this
apparent person told them to give when they were on
the month to month and moved out.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
Why are they being assess five grand now?

Speaker 5 (21:04):
Well, meantime they got another apartment manager in. The new
apartment manager goes, Nope, that's not the way it works.
You're breaking your lease and that's going to cost five
thousand bucks. So, interestingly enough, Lucas sent me over the
email correspondence between himself and Levi, who was the old

(21:25):
apartment manager, and sure enough, Levi told him to do
exactly what he said on air yesterday. So this new
manager is trying to bust his balls. To put it
that way, I think we should actually now.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Know what's interesting. Mark, This is what's interesting. Yeah, Like
if someone makes a promise to you, like a manager, right, yeah,
and then the manager leaves. We've heard this before. It
happened with car deals and a lot of things, of course,
and the owners say, hey, he never had authority to do.

Speaker 5 (21:53):
This is so specific on exactly what he's asking, though.
I don't think there's a judge in the world that
would tell this apartment complex not to pound sand I
mean it's that straight up. In fact, Hi, Lucas, you
do not need to sign another contract as your current
contract has verbiage that makes it automatically roll on a

(22:16):
month to month basis.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
Wow Britain. Notice, I mean he exactly.

Speaker 5 (22:21):
I thought he was exaggerating on the air, right, his
emails are perfect. I can't imagine if he has shared
these with Promenade Place is News manager.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
I think I don't know what they're trying to do.
It's that cut and dry. Yeah, you're right, because he
said he even referenced the least saying it automatically reversed
months to month, and so now what are they're trying
to say that they're trying to hit them up for
five grand? Yeah, I just don't get it. I just

(22:53):
don't get why they're doing this. Okay, I have a
couple of texts here. Come on, buddy, I realize to
help everyone, but really, like Doc said yesterday, move out
of Jersey, go somewhere less expensive. He's talking about Drew now,
who needs help. He's running out of money. He'll be
out of here December. And by the way, Drew is

(23:14):
on a pension disability of some behind. I think you
can verify that d right, and also social security. He's
on social security plus a pension right.

Speaker 6 (23:22):
I've verified that he's on disability.

Speaker 8 (23:25):
I did not ask about social security, but given his age,
he told us.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
I think a combined of seventeen hundred a month or something,
and I think that's what he said. But whatever case,
he says, everybody thinks that gofund me is like magic.
Nobody has any priorities or responsibility. Now, I'll look at
Drew is not necessarily dead be but I will tell
you this. Some guys said, Am I the only one
that picked up on that. I'm not look at I

(23:49):
am not attacking Drew, but I will say this, and
this guy verified it. He said he did a quick
search of Drew on the internet and found many many
civil cases where he sues people all the time. Uh, Mark,
I don't know what to do. I want to help
him with the GoFundMe.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
I didn't know.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
I wasn't around for that call. I was at a
few I said I would log on and I would
help him. I want people to go to the GoF No.

Speaker 5 (24:11):
No, what I'm asking someone said it dates back to
where he ran into the tailgate.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
What does that have to do with it? Okay, he
was working, okay and making some money here and there,
plus his disability and his social security. Yeah, then he
had this injury and said it stopped him from working completely.
The injury.

Speaker 5 (24:31):
Is it the one where he literally walked into a
tailgate and blaming the truck?

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Yes, he did, Okay he did. I mean, what do
you say to that? So, Tom, if you go to God,
everybody needs to know.

Speaker 5 (24:43):
What I'm talking about is picture a pickup truck, the
tailgates down, the guys in like a home depot, parking
lot or wherever.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
I don't know where he was. Drew runs in, walks,
walks into the tailgate and injures himself and it's the
tailgate's fault. Well mark, to his defense, to some degree,
the truck, the SUV was parked perpendicular to the curve
and up on the sidewalk, he said, with the tailgate

(25:11):
extended emptying or loading or unloading or whatever. And he says,
that's not where you expect to see a tail I mean,
but I don't understand for completely.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
That's a good point sidewalk. I'd noticed step over it.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
By the way, if you go to go fund me
and you search Drew d R e W Drew Bradford
b r A d F or D. You'll see why
I wanted to edit his go fundme. I didn't say that, Listen.
I'm not trying to down this guy. Really, he's not

(25:48):
a bad guy. I mean, but here's what he says.
Here's his gofund me. Now why I want to this
is why I want to redo it. But but I
think he got the false impression I'm going to take
it over. He wants me to put my phone number
in there and take the emails. I can't do it.
Here's what it says. I am being harmed by Tamela

(26:08):
or Kamala Harris. Oh hell is allowing to them. You
should have led with that. I thought this had to
do with the tailgate. No, no, but this is what
has gofund me says. Listen, she is allowing me to
be evicted, a poor seventy seven year old good samaritan
who has helped minority children and people, while she gives

(26:29):
free rent to illegal aliens. Now, who's going to donate
to that? I am a disabled, good person in need
of help. Kamala has put many African American men in
jail for pot while she smoked. She has the best
smile and the worst heart. Please mail or phone to

(26:51):
save me from eviction. Under Kamala, ninety eight percent of
my life savings has gone. What you're right, Mark, he
never mentions anything about being injured. Hold on, I'm donating
to him as we speak. That's nice of you. I
didn't know he was. He was one of my people. Oh,

(27:13):
by the way, I am going to log in and
change that description. Mark, I don't think that's apropos.

Speaker 5 (27:18):
I really well, it means I mean, it's like he's
campaigning for Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
I mean, I don't know what that. I don't know
what that is. Now we did talk again.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
We did research one of the steps donated seventy five
bucks Man.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
Deputy d you did you did research his case. Okay,
there's a slim possibility he may get money, but it
could take years. Yeah, and that's only if they Settled's
the I.

Speaker 7 (27:47):
Don't think the impression Gate case, well, there are two
two cases.

Speaker 8 (27:51):
There are two cases, and I didn't really care about
which cases with the this is going to come up first.
The super important part is that none of them are
to result in a check. If they result in a check,
it's not going to come soon enough and not resolve
Drew's dire financial sensue.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
It's not going to be a lot of money.

Speaker 6 (28:09):
And no, probably not.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
He looks like somebody and I can't place it.

Speaker 14 (28:13):
Hey, but look, do you think that if he if
he's poenias the tail gate into court, he'll win the case.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
I called the tailgate?

Speaker 8 (28:25):
Well, look, here's here's the other part. Here's the part
that doesn't look good for for Drew. I just did
a search of his lawsuits and I got it. Looks
like at least a couple of pages of results of
various lawsuits.

Speaker 6 (28:36):
I know from what I see, none of them.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
And he says, I just fight for justice. I mean,
I tried to tell him, remember Mark years ago, I said, Drew,
it looks like you just picked too many fights. I
don't look at I don't dislike the man. Do I
think he's disillusioned? Yes?

Speaker 16 (28:52):
I do.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
I don't even gonna any any merit.

Speaker 5 (28:56):
I don't even understand how there could be a court
date set over him walking into a tailgate.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
The super date they just filed lawsuits. There's no court date. Okay,
we got to take a break anyway and listen. I'm

Welcome to the show. Three oh, three seven one three
talks seven one three, eight two five five. I want
to get to the phones. Tim has a twenty fifteen

(30:31):
Dodge half turn. Yeah, today's car day, so we are
taking car calls. But we'll take any calls and talk
about anything you'd like. Jeff Vickers with us from Chimera Transmission.
So what is happening with you? Tim? How can we
help you? I hope we can morning.

Speaker 13 (30:47):
Nuh.

Speaker 12 (30:48):
My son's pickup is in a limp mode right now? Oh,
would it be better? Would it be better to take
it to a transmission guide to diagnose it or regular
mechanic even though it affects the transmission.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
I believe it's transmission related. Then yes, see the transmission specialist.
Whether you bring it to me or another reputable shop,
that is going to be your starting point.

Speaker 5 (31:12):
Well, most regular shops, Tim, they can look at it
and tell you something's wrong, But the bottom line is
they're either going to order a rebuilt unit from a
company like Jasper out of state or something, then install it.
They're not going to tear it down, find the problems,
rebuild the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
You'll have a warranty in there. That's the main difference.

Speaker 4 (31:31):
And you'd be amazed how many times that transmission of
whether they take it out of the truck or they
bring me the truck. But that ends up in my
shop anyway.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
Really it is.

Speaker 12 (31:39):
So you're saying it is transmission.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
No, I haven't checked out the truck. I can't tell
you it's transmission. If you believe it's transmission, then I
would just don't know. Use a transmission shop. Well, is
it stuck in a single gear?

Speaker 11 (31:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (31:51):
Yeah, it's like stuck in fourth gear.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
That the likelihood is that that's going to be transmission related,
and it could be something as simple as a sensor.
It could be something that complicated as an overhaul. But
a good transmission shop is going to look at it,
give you an honest evaluation and an honest price to
go along with the repair.

Speaker 5 (32:07):
Hey, when you say a sensor on something like that, Jeff,
I guess I don't understand that part.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
So on that truck, is it like a tree or
what is it?

Speaker 14 (32:15):
What?

Speaker 3 (32:16):
What twenty fifteen Dodge.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
I'm assuming you probably have the six speed. It's not
the rotator dial, right, it's not the eighth speed.

Speaker 5 (32:23):
So the sensor, like if it breaks and it's in
a certain gear, it just can no longer move it yell, and.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
The computer can no longer a value. You'll make decisions.
So you say the input speed sensor goes bad. It
recognizes that the output speeds sitch is moving. It knows
the truck's rolling, but it doesn't know how fast in
the front of the transmissions.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
Moving, so it doesn't know what gear to be is it.

Speaker 4 (32:41):
Gets scared, so it goes into limp fourth gear. We've
got enough power where we can legitimately get away from
a stop and if we have to when we're on
the highway. We haven't locked this thing up when it
goes into limp, so it gives you the ability to
get to a shop to get a checked out.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
So actually it's kind of designed. If that sensor goes
out to go into fourth gear, it does a program fail. Wow, Tim,
you might get off easily, brother, I don't.

Speaker 12 (33:04):
Know, man. Yeah, we're hoping. We're hoping though, but you
know what, my son looked it up and it could
very well be an electrical issue that but that's the
final deal is that put it in that mode.

It's really a great siding, a lifetime siding. Genesis tootalexteriors
dot com. Welcome to the show. Jeff fixed with us
from camera transmissions. Today is car day. I do have
some texts on that and we will get to those

(35:08):
and we'll get to any calls. It doesn't have to
be car related, of course. And we have a full
gang today and let me get to the let me
put them up on the studio. Here we have Jeff
vic over there on screen left. We have deputy Doc
in the background above Jeff, and then we have Sues
at the main desk chair and then Major Mark Major

(35:33):
to the right screen and then welcome. That's if you're streaming,
and that's YouTube Troubleshooter Network. But most of our people
are on radio and we love you and call in
with any problems, questions or complaints. Here's the text about transmissions.
The woman mentioned a grinding sound. Other people mention other sounds, Jeff,

(35:57):
somebody should put out an index on what sounds mean.
That's interesting, So let me ask you. Yeah, what do
sounds mean? How do you know if it sounds coming
from the transmission or from the motor or don't you know?

Speaker 4 (36:12):
Well, most of the time, when first of all it's
coming from the transmission, it's going to almost be like
a muffle. You know, it sounds like it's inside something
that's not going to sound external. So you like, if
you have a break noise, or if you have a
belt squealing, you can tell that that's outside of a component,
it's not housed inside anything. Then transmissions will typically be
you know, is it going to be going along with
road speed? Doesn't match engine speed? That'll give you an

(36:33):
idea whether we're looking at the input side of transmission
output side of the transmission.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
So if it changes with rpm, what does it mean.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
Well, it still doesn't mean that it's transmission, right, It
just means that whatever those components are making the noise
the relative to the engine speed. But it's more dependent
on the drive side as opposed to the driven side.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
Now, let's say it it doesn't change so much with rpm,
but it does change with speed.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
Well, then the likelihood is I mean, if you pretty
much eliminated an engine, but it could still be a transmission,
you could still be looking into differentials transfer cases.

Speaker 3 (37:09):
Do they call that? What do they call that part?
That's not the engine, but it's the tranny and the
axles and all that.

Speaker 4 (37:14):
Well, you have the transfer case and that's what gives
you four wheel drive capablity, Okay, and then you have
the differentials, which is what diverts the power to individual wheels.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
So in any case, can we all agree that noises
are not natural from I mean.

Speaker 4 (37:29):
We actually are, you know, and you know, so when
we have customers come back or come in complaining to
certain gear noises, oftentimes we send away and tell them
it is normal. Gears are made for durability, not for stealth.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
Okay, Okay. Now, as far as temperatures, cold, hot, whatever,
what is the deal when it comes to really, when
it comes to the outside temps, when we tend to
have more would we have tend to have more trouble
or less trouble with a tranny?

Speaker 4 (38:05):
You'll tend to have more trouble during the summer when
the ambient temperatures are really yeah, because you're still trying
to you've you know, thermal management is huge and any
on a mechanical device with transmissions. They are very, very
dependent on working at specific temperatures. Transmission is fluid itself,
will break down after about two hundred and thirty degrees.
You get up to sixties to sixty to seventy and

(38:27):
you rapidly deteriorating the life of that transmission.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
When do you need a transmission cooler?

Speaker 4 (38:33):
You know, primarily most coolers is used. You know what,
I'd like to see them on trucks, on RVs, anything
that's pulling a lot of weight, so you can get
that heat away from there.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
Can anyone add a transmission cooler to any vehicle, bab.

Speaker 4 (38:45):
I would say on some of the older vehicles, yes,
you definitely could. The plumbing was a lot more simple.
The plumbing on today's vehicles a lot more complicated. If
you don't know what you're doing, you can cause yourself
big issues.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Very interesting three oh three seven to one to three
talk seven one, three, eight, two five five. Lucas is
the one that talked to Mark yesterday, and uh we
were discussing that a little earlier in the show, and
to I want Lucas to recap his problem and Mark
can take that, and so, uh, let's talk about it.
Lucas you called yesterday and just really for those listening now,

(39:21):
just recap your problem in general.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (39:27):
Sure, So it ended a lease at a property recently
and they we were on a month to month lease,
and despite that fact, they're trying to charge us an
early move out feet even though we have email documentation
stating yeah, you're good to go, there's no pot.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
Well, when did your This is what I didn't understand.
Then I'll let it's Mark's case here. When was the
lease up? What date was the lease up? Looks like
September first, one September?

Speaker 14 (39:58):
No?

Speaker 3 (39:58):
Or is that on the thirty day?

Speaker 18 (40:01):
That was after the thirty day?

Speaker 3 (40:03):
When when was your actual lease up August first? Are
they claiming that when you stayed after August first, it
reverted to a new one year lease.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
No.

Speaker 15 (40:18):
I think they're just stating we didn't give them proper notice,
but we define.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Okay, And what would proper notice be according to the lease.

Speaker 16 (40:29):
I have to look back, but it may be.

Speaker 5 (40:32):
I think it's thirty days because the lease, the lease
converts to after twelve months. The lease, if you do
not give them notice that you're moving out, converts to
month to month at a higher rate.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
Is that correct?

Speaker 16 (40:51):
Correct?

Speaker 3 (40:52):
And then you need to get thirty days then you
need to then what then? Where did they even come
up with early termination?

Speaker 15 (41:01):
Because they corresponding to any call.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
Yeah, they switched managers, is what I believe. He but
it makes hey, it makes.

Speaker 5 (41:11):
The old manager Levi? Levi was the old manager, correct,
But I understand that.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
But either manager can read that he had a month
to month lease and had to give thirty days notice.
So what the charge that they gave you? Are they
claiming you you left early on the month to month
or left early on a year.

Speaker 15 (41:37):
They're not making any kind of claim. They're simply giving
me an invoice.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
And not talking. Okay, well, on the invoice, how does
it delineate mark? Did we actually get a copy of
that invoice? How does that see the invoice? Yeah, that's
what I want to How does it delineate the charges
to come up with that charge?

Speaker 18 (41:55):
Yeah, it just says early termination fee.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
In addition to is that the only thing you're being
charged early termination?

Speaker 15 (42:04):
There's some for rated rents and utilities, but that's basically.

Speaker 5 (42:07):
It, and then early termination, but there is no early termination.
He actually asked, listen to this.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
This is may eighth.

Speaker 5 (42:15):
Hi, Levi, our plan is to carry the lease to
the end of August, so we would do the month
to month lease for July and August. Can you let
me know what we need to sign to.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
Make this so?

Speaker 5 (42:28):
And then Levi, the current manager at the time, replies,
you do not need to sign another contract as your
current contract has verbage that makes it automatically roll to
a month to month basis unless written notice is provided that.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
You're moving out. The only thing we need from you
is a notice to vacate.

Speaker 5 (42:50):
This can be provided thirty days prior to you moving
out of your apartment.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
That's it.

Speaker 15 (42:58):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
Well, okay, so now what action have they taken.

Speaker 15 (43:07):
The new management company has contacted me about the fee
ands of you an invoice, you know what.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
I tell him, They haven't actually taken anything. Did Did
you get your deposit back?

Speaker 5 (43:17):
No, if you took out the if you took out
the termination fee and you applied the deposit to other stuff.

Speaker 3 (43:25):
Do they owe you a deposit or not? They do?
How much of it?

Speaker 15 (43:33):
The majority a couple hundred dollars deposit?

Speaker 5 (43:35):
Okay, so we're talking about a couple of hundred bucks.
Did you move into your new place. Yet I tell
them to pound sand ensue me, and then if they
actually go through with it, I can't see in a
million that's.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
Right since they didn't take the money yet.

Speaker 5 (43:51):
Yeah, talking a couple hundred bucks, and if they do
sue you, then you counter sue them for them.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
Mark, what do you mean a couple of hundred In
other words, he would have gotten a couple hundred, is
what you're saying.

Speaker 5 (44:01):
Yeah, he only would have got a couple hundred back.
In fact, I might even go a step further. If
I really didn't like these people, I might actually sue
them for the deposit.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
I might just do that.

Speaker 5 (44:11):
Reading all the correspondence between you and the old management,
I have no idea why the new management is even trying.

Speaker 11 (44:18):
To do this.

Speaker 5 (44:21):
Yeah, makes no sense, But dude, you're in the driver's seat. Man,
You're one hundred percent in the driver's seat. With the
exception of a couple hundred dollars. They're not going to
put anything on your credit. If they did, they'd be crazy.
If they took you to court and won, then they
could put something on your credit, but they'd.

(46:04):
not going to that Catholic charities deal. Oh did you
hear the jokes Gathikan made he was? I love that
comedian he is. He's good.

Speaker 5 (46:11):
Did he ever get me too? I forget it wasn't him.
I think it was no, no, never, never in that africant.
He's also pretty damn clean.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
I love him. I love his comedy. He normally never
talks about politics, really and he really didn't what he said,
but what he said was pretty funny. He said, you know,
where's Kamalay? He says, we have a room full of
Catholics and Jews in New York City. He says, that's
a layup for a conserv for a a liberal. Oh god.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
And by the way, why didn't she go there? Does
anyone know?

Speaker 5 (46:43):
Because she can't think on her own, So I mean,
she's that to be very impromptu, although the funny part
is she probably does have some of the best comic
writers in the world.

Speaker 3 (46:53):
Did her fingertips? So I think it was a blown moment. Yeah, Now, Lucas,
this deputy D has a question. Let me bring us
up here, Okay, go ahead, D. What did you want
to ask him on? So for those listening, he has
an apartment and the lease expired, reverted month to month.

(47:14):
He moved out, gave thirty days notice after two months
and following the lease expiration, and they're charging them with
five grand.

Speaker 6 (47:24):
So go ahead, lookas what date do you actually move
out of promenade?

Speaker 15 (47:31):
September second?

Speaker 3 (47:33):
So what was that September second?

Speaker 8 (47:35):
And what threecond and what date did you give them
notice of your intent to move out on September second?

Speaker 18 (47:43):
I believe it was July thirty first, Yes.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
Did they?

Speaker 4 (47:46):
How did you say?

Speaker 3 (47:47):
Wait a minute, wait a minute. July thirty first, you
gave him thirty days notice, which you should have done
so then at the end of August you would have
been moved out.

Speaker 5 (47:54):
I'm staring at the email guys July thirty first. Yea,
he wrote, we are currently on a month to month lease.
Our last day will be September one, twenty twenty four.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
But he moved out September second.

Speaker 5 (48:05):
Yeah, and then he even put total clarify beginning September second,
we will no longer be in the apartment.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
Yeah. But let me explain something to You're not allowed
to pick the rental period. If the period ran I
don't know when it ran, mark, but listen, if it
ran from the first to the end of the month,
and you start another rental period, it is another month. Okay,
just you know which would mean this this is their
this could be their reasoning. So if you're starting another

(48:36):
month September second, that would obligate you for September, and
if you did not give thirty days notice for that,
it would obligate she for October.

Speaker 5 (48:44):
Yeah, but this was written on July thirty first, so
he gave them thirty days notes, right.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
Mark, he did thirty day's notice, And if the rental
period was at the end of August, he should not
have stayed there September first and second unless they allowed
him to and charged and pro rated rent. But many
times they don't allow you on a month to month.
He actually said, there's pro rated on his invoice. Did

(49:11):
they pro rate for September first and second?

Speaker 15 (49:16):
Yeah, Well we did leave on the first, by the way,
but it was pro rated for the first.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
They charged you for the day you left, right, yes.
Can I ask you something, Why didn't you just leave
at the end of August.

Speaker 11 (49:28):
Like you said, timing with the moves to a new Okay,
all right, all right?

Speaker 3 (49:36):
So they did charge you for that one day.

Speaker 5 (49:40):
Yeah, and the guy replied the current manager, thanks for
sending this over. I will put your notice in. Please
send me your new address. I mean, Mark, it's crazy, he.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
Replied, before he held over September first. I get what
you're saying, Mark, but what I'm thinking is they're automated.
They're looking at this thing. They see Wait a minute,
month to month he left September first, that's another thirty days.
How much was your rent every month?

Speaker 15 (50:15):
Oh, about twenty six hundred caracole exactly?

Speaker 3 (50:18):
I think that, okay? And how much are they charging
you for early termination? Fifty one.

Speaker 16 (50:24):
Eighteen.

Speaker 3 (50:25):
That's so, that's exactly what they're doing. Hey, they're charging
him for the month for September and for the thirty
days for October.

Speaker 5 (50:33):
I know exactly what they're charging him for. But that's
not what the old manager agreed to. But the old
manager the manager agreed.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
That he would be out at the end of August,
and he stayed till September.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
First.

Speaker 5 (50:48):
One, you have all the emails too, Yeah, but Mark,
the emails tell the entire story.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
I don't know why we see it so differently. Mark, listen,
please listen. I'm not disagreeing with you. I agree with
you that the manager acknowledged he would be out at
the end of August. Enough said, now that manager.

Speaker 5 (51:11):
Leaves all of a sudden, Well, he never says the
end of August. He never says that anywhere. It's always
September first. Okay, You're not allowed to.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
Pick what if he said I'm gonna be out September sixth,
You're not allowed to simply pick your exit date. It's
thirty days from the beginning of the next cycle. It's
not just any thirty days you want. Go check the law.
I'm positive on that. I am absolutely positive unless the

(51:42):
lease allows it. So if he gave thirty days July
thirty first, it was for the next thirty day period
of the rent period, not any thirty days he wanted,
and it would end it at the end of August.
That previous manager said, okay, okay. Even though the guy
said I'm going to be out September first or second,

(52:03):
that is notice. But it doesn't It doesn't release him
from the next holdover period unless they allow him to
win the lease. I don't really know the its, ends
and butts of every single word of that lease. So
we agree he gave proper notice to be out at
the end of August, he gave proper notice? Did he

(52:24):
give proper notice to be out by the end of September?
I'm not sure I did. Then, why would they charge
him for the pro rated day. No, that they're going
to charge him for the pro rat You're absolutely right.
That would indicate you're right. That would indicate that they
accepted that term.

Speaker 5 (52:44):
Say email, let me read this one. I just you
just sent over a three and six month lease option.
I wanted one or two month lease period.

Speaker 3 (52:53):
What do I need to do this?

Speaker 5 (52:54):
I'm paraphrasing, and it says, once your contract has gone
month to month, you can continue you on month to
month without being locked into a contract any further, let
me know if you'll be any of any of assistance.

Speaker 3 (53:08):
And he's not locked into a contract meaning a term.
But when you revert from a written lease to a
month to month, the previous terms of that month of
that lease apply as far as notice and rental period.
You can't just make a new rental period. For example,

(53:28):
at the end of July at the end of his lease,
he can't if the period went from the first to
the thirtieth or first to thirty First, you can't at
the end of your lease say from now on, I'm
going to go from the fifteenth to the fifteenth. You
can't do that. It takes on the same exact characteristic.
But it doesn't matter. You're right. They charge him for
one day. It kind of indicated that, okay, you you

(53:51):
held over an extra day, we're charging him for that day.
Then they talk, on top of it, basically are charging
him for another sixty days. That part I don't understand.
I do think he's going to win because it's ambiguous
at best, and I think that's the part that you
have strong. But what we were trying to do is
figure out what kind of reasoning did they have behind it,

(54:12):
because at first it seems so arbitrary that they were
charging him an extra fifty two hundred bucks. And then
I realized these people in their minds are saying, well,
you stayed for September by staying an extra day, and
you didn't give us thirty days for October, so you
stayed for October two. I think it's ridiculous. So I

(54:33):
do think he'll win. Lucas let us know how it
works out, though, and les Mark said, if you want
to refute it. Don't refute it. Just wait for them
to come after you and put up your defense. I
think that's good advice. Three oh three seven to one
three talks seven one three eight two five five. Barbara
has a question on a transmission. Barbara, Jeff fixed with
us from kimmera transmission. What's going on?

Speaker 19 (54:56):
Well, I have a twenty fourteen Subaru outback. There's nothing
wrong with the transmission. But what I'm curious about is
that it has the paddles, so you can make it
an manual or you can leave it automatic. And I
wondered if I should put it in the manual on

(55:20):
to months.

Speaker 3 (55:22):
Or you know, that's a good question, Jeff, exactly what
does that do? Well? I have paddles too. What does
that do?

Speaker 4 (55:29):
Yeah? It gives you control, or somewhat control override of
the computer itself, because the computer's making calculated decisions when
to create a shift, depending on load demand, depending on
whether you're cruising, whether your foots on the brake, so on.

Speaker 13 (55:40):
And so forth.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
What if I shift down and it's going too high
of an RPM.

Speaker 4 (55:44):
And the computer will override you in order to save
that car? The computer is designed to say, you know, what.
Tom's an idiot. Don't let this guy drive this car
and I'm going to take over.

Speaker 3 (55:53):
You don't give me an idea when it wouldn't take
over and when I would do most.

Speaker 4 (55:56):
Of the time, you know, because I use mine quite
a bit too. I also have engine breaking on mine,
the exhaust break.

Speaker 3 (56:01):
I like it.

Speaker 4 (56:01):
Inside the mountains, you know, you're pulling down hills or whatnot.
You want to control your speed without riding the brake,
pull it down the gear Let the truck or the
car actually help keep you from descending too quickly. Same
thing when you're when you're going up and down hill,
up and downhill, and that transmission is getting really really
shift busy. It's going into fourth and it jumps into fifth.
It can only stay there for a few seconds. It
dropped back to the fourth. Well, you know what, take

(56:22):
the computer out of it, drop it in the force,
eat the gas a little bit, and save that car.

Speaker 14 (56:26):
A little.

Speaker 3 (56:28):
Okay does that sound right to you, Barbi? Do you
understand what you're saying?

Speaker 1 (56:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (56:34):
Can I live in the mountains, and I was just
wondering if.

Speaker 4 (56:39):
I should use that like a manual, especially in the mountains,
that things from it saves your brakes when you're pulling hills.
It's you believe it or not. It sounds like you're
going to use more gas when you know because you're
not using fifth or you're not using fourth, but you'll
actually save because you're not deep into the throttle trying
to keep that car going.

Speaker 3 (56:56):
So you're talking about both going down the mountain and
up the mountain.

Speaker 19 (57:00):
Yes, but even though I've lived up here for forty years,
I know the I know the terrain, but I just
didn't know if it was good to use the paddles.

Speaker 4 (57:11):
That's what they're there for.

Speaker 3 (57:12):
So what Jeff, Jeff, what you're saying. So, when climbing
a mountain, if I'm going up the mountain and it
shifts the fifth gear or fourth gear, whatever my highest
gear is, I'm keeping I am the engines working harder
than it would if I let it down.

Speaker 4 (57:26):
Shift to those cases where you're pulling the hill and
you know, shifts the fifth and then you actually start
to lose speed, so it drops the fourth, ketchup speed
and then it goes back.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
Yeah. Yeah, Okay, that's when.

Speaker 4 (57:35):
You want to pull it down and just hold a
consistent speed with a car's comfortable, okay.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
But if you go too fast, it'll switch anyway. Even
if you have the paddle right.

Speaker 4 (57:43):
On today's newer cars, the fourteen, it's not quite as sensitive.
But you know if you're driving in around a twenty, yeah,
you know that that thing's going to tell us. It's
going to know that you're moron, and it's going to shift.

Speaker 3 (57:54):

(58:38):
Tom Martino here, three oh three seven one three talk
three oh three seven one three eight two five five.
So what's going on? How can we help you? It's
car Day today. Brenda has a question about small claims
core Hi, Brenda, what's going on with you?

Speaker 10 (58:55):
Well, I've talked to you in the past, and I've
got my Small Claims court. It's come up for mediation
next week.

Speaker 3 (59:01):
Now, what did you call? Did you talk to us
about the case itself in the past.

Speaker 10 (59:06):
Yes, it basically was. I moved from an apartment complex,
gave them all the notice. They never returned my deposit.
A year later, when I tried to move again, I
found that they also put a derogatory comment on my
rental history saying I owed them money, but they.

Speaker 3 (59:22):
Never contacted you after you moved out one way or
the other.

Speaker 10 (59:27):
No, they said that they put a copy of it
on the door for the apartment of the old apartment,
but it was after I had already vacated it and
I had given them my forwarding address. I have proof
of mail through postal service that I didn't get anything
from them in the timeframe the sixty days or anytime
after that. So I'm getting ready small Claims court and

(59:48):
Rapo County was sixty or six months. My mediation is
next week, and I found out that they're going to
have an attorney that's representing there at the mediation, trailing me.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
A little nervous. No, it doesn't matter. It's still the
same relaxed rules that that doesn't matter. Do not let
that scare you, Okay, okay, so hold on, hold on.
Are you suing for the trouble damages? Yes? Okay?

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
And and for them to.

Speaker 10 (01:00:16):
Remove that derogatory comment because I was not able to
move to another apartment in May of two thousand.

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
Where does that derogatory comment show up? Rental history had.

Speaker 10 (01:00:27):
Had to show up in rental history?

Speaker 3 (01:00:29):
What does that mean? Mark? Excuse me, I'm not sure
what that means. I don't know of any place where
people go to see a rental list. I would assume
Lexus and Exus Brenda. Where is it showing up? Is
it showing up? Is it on your credit report? No?

Speaker 10 (01:00:46):
No, it's not on the credit report. When I applied,
the property manager that I applied to the new place
with said that they found something in my history that said.

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
That that's interesting. You know, I wasn't actually I wasn't
actually aware of that. If landlords communicate on a portal
or I'm sure it's either Lexus and Nexus or core
Logic or something along those lines. Absolutely. In fact, experience
might even have that. Okay, so keep going. What's going on, Brenda?

Speaker 10 (01:01:18):
So we're going to do the mediation. I'm pretty confident
that I'm going to win this.

Speaker 5 (01:01:23):
Pease, let me interrupt you real quick. What you need
to do when it comes to the treble damages. Did
you pull down the actual statute about treble damages in
the deposit?

Speaker 10 (01:01:35):
I didn't pull it down.

Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
Yeah, you need to pull it down, print it out,
and just keep harping on it.

Speaker 5 (01:01:41):
They had to return that money within thirty or sixty days,
and if they didn't, that's all you care about right now.

Speaker 19 (01:01:49):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (01:01:49):
But they're also saying that I owe them money and
they sent me.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
How much do they say you owe?

Speaker 10 (01:01:55):
Like thirteen dollars?

Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
Boy, they better have I wonder how there's supposed to communicate,
is it?

Speaker 5 (01:02:02):
What are they claiming? They left literally a notice on
your door? Was that before you moved out?

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
No?

Speaker 10 (01:02:08):
They left a notice on after I moved out? And
what's funny is gone?

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
I mean, how do you even judge it? Are there really?

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
Wait?

Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
Wait, hold on a second. They would literally say that
to the judge, we put this notice up after she
moved out.

Speaker 10 (01:02:23):
Well, they're saying that they sent it but I have
proved through I did a forwarding, a drill through the mail,
you know, from the old address to the new address,
and I have pictures of everything that came in through
the from.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
The hold on a second. Okay, so so so I
think you're going to win, well.

Speaker 10 (01:02:41):
I am, But the question I have, the second question
was it's a it's an apartment complex. Even if I
win and get a judgment to have them remove the
derogatory comment and I can show that to people, how
do I ever get money collected from these people or
get anything even if I get a judgment.

Speaker 3 (01:02:59):
Well, well, no, if you get a judgment, you probably
will collect from them easier than you would an individual.
Oh really, Oh absolutely, Well, A couple things you can do.
You can hire an attorney to do it on contingency,
a collection attorney, or you can do what's called interrogatories,
where you ask she's going to get paid?

Speaker 5 (01:03:19):
I mean if they say treble damages, unless if it's
like some individual landlord it's gone bankrupt or something. But
what you do on the credit part, you need to
figure out where it came from. You got to figure
out was it Lexus and exus, was it one of
the other ones.

Speaker 3 (01:03:34):
Hey, Mark, what I'm looking at here is uh, you
didn't you mention core logic? Did you mention that? Yea
core logic? How do you know?

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
Hold on?

Speaker 3 (01:03:43):
How did you know about core logic? It's called safe
rent core because have you used it before? I've never
used it. But they also do like banking history okay, okay,
And then there's something called real Page, and there's something
called TransUnion, Smart Move and Experience Rent Bureau.

Speaker 5 (01:04:00):
Yeah, they all have their own, but it doesn't come
up under your credit history is completely different, same with banking.
But what you got, let's say it came from Lexus
and Nexus. You need to dispute it just like you
would anything else. So if you win this case and
you get to treble damages or even win it in
mediation and they write it up, the judge signs it,

(01:04:21):
then you'll go to Lexus and Nexus and you'll upload
that and say this is total BS.

Speaker 3 (01:04:26):
In fact, here's the proof. We gotta take a break,

(01:05:15):
one three talks seven one three eight two five five. Okay,
so let's take some calls, see what's on your mind.
We have another two hours to go, of course, retward
the end of this one. Jeff, I have a couple
texts here maybe you can weigh in on and are there,
Jeff and you you talked about the constant velocity transmissions?

(01:05:39):
What do you call them again?

Speaker 4 (01:05:42):
Continuously variable?

Speaker 3 (01:05:43):
Okay, okay, what does that mean? I'm asking that and
then I'll go to the text.

Speaker 4 (01:05:47):
It literally describes what it's doing. So you've got two
opposing cones with a belt on there, and they can
change size large to small, so as opposed to actually
switching gears with a specific ratio, they can move anywhere
in between?

Speaker 3 (01:06:00):
Aren't they more efficient?

Speaker 4 (01:06:03):
Yes, they can definitely be more efficient, more durable has
yet to be.

Speaker 3 (01:06:07):
But shouldn't they last longer? That's not the text either.
I'll get to the text. But in my opinion, if
you have this belt going up and down a cone
for different drive ratios and you're not grinding gears and
switching gears and having clutches and all of that.

Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
Well you still have clutches inside there. You still have
to have forward clutch, you still have to have a
reverse clutch.

Speaker 3 (01:06:25):
Well yeah, yeah, yeah, but I mean you don't have
as much moving parts.

Speaker 4 (01:06:28):
Right, correct, You do not have as many moving parts.

Speaker 3 (01:06:31):
So why aren't they are reliable?

Speaker 4 (01:06:34):
You know, with more with more technology and with more
engineering that they potentially could be. It's just not that's
not what being put on the market.

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
Okay, So the text asks are there any of those
that are better than others as far as manufacturers?

Speaker 4 (01:06:51):
You know, I'm actually as far as the average daily
driver where you know, you've got people out there in
Nissan's toyotas, Honda's Subaru, in my opinion, is probably the
most durable CVT on the market. Along with that, wind
failures do occur. The price tag goes up on them too.
I mean, you'll replacement on a super brow TV it
can cost you upwards of ten thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:07:14):
I mean to me that it just sounds brilliant to
me that you it's not inside.

Speaker 4 (01:07:19):
It's literally stealing snowmobile technology. But instead of using a
magnetic clutch, we've got a torquenverter in order to separate
the power from the engine to the transmission.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
Okay, now what about then, let's see that transmission compared
to just conventional transmissions. Conventional transmissions, what would be the advantage.

Speaker 4 (01:07:42):
Primarily of the durability, especially if you're getting in the market.

Speaker 3 (01:07:46):
And then somebody, then somebody wanted to know. This was
a few weeks ago. I put it away about do
electric cars have transmissions?

Speaker 4 (01:07:54):
You know, they do not.

Speaker 6 (01:07:55):
They're direct drive, so.

Speaker 3 (01:07:57):
That means it just literally goes straight to the wheel.

Speaker 4 (01:08:01):
Go straight to the wheel. Now, they're changing a lot
of the dynamics as of hell, they're going to be
doing that in order to increase the suspension abilities and whatnot.
But it's actually really smart technology and a lot of
a lot less loss getting to the ground.

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
Okay, so you a little power means little slower and
more powers faster. That's simple, pretty much. All right, We

one three eight two five five. Today is Car Day.
We can talk about anything you want, but it is
car Day. I'll bring up our friends in the studio.
We got all kinds of things going on today. We
got Jeff Fick from Camere Transmission. We have Deputy Doc,

(01:09:40):
we have Major Mark Major and sues and also of
course Deputy Deal over here with me. So welcome. We
are here to help you any way we can. So
give us a call. This brought to you by something
I'm very proud of and Mark, thank you for the
kind We're jes A Wave eight Wealth Management. We are
basically I want to tell you this. We're overwhelmed by

(01:10:03):
the response. Thank you, thank you, Thank you people for
trusting us, and we are limiting our sives. We will
get back to you. I promise you if you've called
three h three seven seven to one help. It started
out like six years ago. We did a private fund
and then I wanted to move into general investing for
people based on everything I've done for myself. One hundred

(01:10:26):
percent has been for myself up until the point we
got registered with the securities people and became a public firm.
So we're able to serve the public and I'm very
proud of it. We're very very happy, and I just
want to tell you some basic things. We absolutely pledged

(01:10:47):
that all of our own money is invested along with yours.
Never would we suggest anything we're not doing, and that's it,
and we absolutely positively invest your money counsel you about
your money. Let me explain why I say that the
financial industry. I'm not saying it's misleading and I'm not

(01:11:09):
saying it's bad. Please listen, But ninety eight percent of
all financial advisors, even big firms that you think are
financial advisors, they're not truly doing the investing or the
counseling of your money. They are asking you questions and
they have relationships with you. They're nice people. Then what

(01:11:32):
they do is they get your risk tolerance and your appetite,
your goals, your objections, and then what they do is
they take that fund you have or the money you have,
and they place it with a broker dealer with like money.
They do not on a day to day basis deal
with your money. I promise you that not ninety eight

(01:11:53):
percent of them. And they're middlemen. They make a spread. Now,
sometimes they do a great job for you. That's great
people that do that. Then you have people that want
boutique like we do, direct communication, limited size. It's really
an extension of what I'm doing for myself, and of
course it's geared toward your goals. And then you have

(01:12:14):
people like Mark and Ross Kominsky and people who do
everything for themselves. Then there are rare people who do that.
But trust me when I tell you it takes a
lot of time, you know, to do your own stuff
like that, and then you have a lot of day traders.
We're not talking about any of that. What I'm talking about,
basically is what we do is hold your hand and

Management dot com or W eight WM dot com. Mark says,

(01:12:59):
that's get something simpler. But anyway, that's what we have
right now. You can also go Waveightcapital dot com. So listen.
One thing I want to mention though, when it comes
to and I want to, I want to ask Mark
about this because I came across this guy and maybe
I'll have him on the show sometime. It is fascinating

(01:13:21):
to me, fascinating Mark. He talks about the money anxiety Index.
Have you heard of that? The money anxiety index. They
I didn't realize you referring to something like the VICS.
I don't know if it's called I don't know if
if what you're referring to is that, But there's actually

(01:13:42):
a money anxiety Index, meaning they they pull people on
how they feel about the economy and about all of
the things going on, and they and what this one
professor did is he started tracking the money anxiety and
how it affects ETFs. The reason he went to ETFs

(01:14:03):
is because they're not exactly like mutual funds, but they
are big funds exchange traded funds, and the money that
flows in and out has a direct correlation to anxiety indecks,
and how they invest has a lot to do with
anxiety indecks. And he did a fascinating thing by tracking that,

(01:14:25):
and he could almost damn near predict the outcomes of
certain ETFs based on the anxiety index. And he put
together a plan, one of the plans that we're following.
We love this guy, and also it's one of the
strategies to use. But he's proposing something for the future,
and I'm gonna get him on the show about it.
Listen to this Mark. He's saying that banks around the world,

(01:14:47):
around the country are kind of screwing people when they
don't because they either do two things. Some have the
audacity to charge people for accounts. I mean, really, to
charge you for accounts like you might keep a business
account there with thousands of dollars running in and out
of it every day. Yeah, and make sure but that's

(01:15:07):
few and far, yes. But then they have some that
pay very low interest, right, very few have any right.
And then you have some that pay a pretty oker
amount of interest. Okay, so you have three categories. People
who charge, people who charge pay a little interest, people
pay a normal kind of alright, decent interest. This guy

(01:15:29):
had a different theory and and again no one's doing
it right now. But when you talk to him, I
know you'll like him because he's not a nut. I mean,
this guy is a behavioral scientist and a neuroscientist, behavioral
scientist that went into economics, and he is proposing that
there are that there be bank accounts established that mirror

(01:15:53):
the ETF funds, so banks can actually, so when you
have I have a regular checking account, you actually make
money as if that money's invested. Well, Charles Schwab has
it does stuff like that. Well, yeah, but it may
do things like that, but it's not a This is

(01:16:15):
a guaranteed account, meaning that you would not have any
losses ever, and it would only grow based on what
they return. Okay, Anyway, I just thought it was fascinating,
and again there's a lot of fascinating stuff going on
in the industry and a lot of people believe. And
I don't know how you're feeling, Mark, since you do

(01:16:36):
a lot of your own individual investing, how do you
what do you feel? What do you like to do
around elections? When it comes to investing, what do you
like to do?

Speaker 1 (01:16:45):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:16:46):
Boy, I've gone either way. Two years ago, I actually liquidated.

Speaker 5 (01:16:51):
Now, when I say liquidated accounts, you got to remember
I am never talking about my irais most no, no,
of course, of course, I rarely make changes in those
unless if I see something really coming up that I
want to liquidate one thing and buy another. So what
I'm talking about is more or less trading accounts that
are qualified.

Speaker 3 (01:17:13):
So do you like do you like being in the
security of cash during elections? No, not necessarily. I have
went all cash.

Speaker 5 (01:17:20):
Probably two years ago I did go all cash and
it probably ended up costing me some money, so I
have done that this year. It has nothing to do
really with the election. But I'm probably going to take
some massive gains this year, more or less for tax purposes.

(01:17:46):
I want to get them done and out of the
way and take them this year, and I might jump
right back into some of those some of those stocks
when they go down, because I do think some stuff
is way over price that I'm in. I think I
can take some pretty good gains right now, and I
don't see a downside in it because I'd find them,

(01:18:07):
I'd find it hard to believe some of them are
going to go up much higher.

Speaker 3 (01:18:11):
And if they do, then I'll jump into something else. Okay, Now,
do you believe that based on your own portfolios and
stuff and your observations without getting I'm not asking what
you want or what you like or what you I'm
asking you during the four years that Trump was in

(01:18:32):
office compared to the four years of Biden, your stock
portfolio and the stock market from your perspective, people we're
not talking about We're talking his perspective only. And if
you want to give your perspective, you can. But what
have you found, Because really and truly, I don't believe
the stock market suffered under Biden.

Speaker 5 (01:18:51):
I've made more the last two years and I did
the prior two years. I could tell you that, I'd
have to go and look what about under Trump? Well
that's what I'm saying. And so I made more under
the last two years in the stock market than I
did prior to the last two years. I mean, I've
had incredible games the last two years, but a lot

(01:19:12):
of that are the stocks I'm in in AI. AI
is massive, Microsoft, Walmart is just Walmart and Microsoft have
absolutely killed for me. Microsoft, I'm probably up, you know,
thirty thirty five percent. Walmart I think I'm almost up
sixty percent. It's just some of the stocks have been incredible.

(01:19:33):
Walmart split. I think when they split, my average share
cost was around forty. If I recall now it's eighty.
That's a double.

Speaker 3 (01:19:41):
Man. Now listen to this. I'm under Trump. The S
and P five hundred rows forty eight percent. Yeah, now
listen this, and and you're going to pick up on this.
I hope under Biden it rose fifty percent. Yeah, but
but let's take a look at what that means. Forty

(01:20:05):
eight percent under Trump versus fifty percent under Biden. But
the fifty percent under Biden was after a new low,
or not new low like depression, but a low from
COVID nineteen. So it's the same thing they do with
employment numbers. All that's right, that's right. He came, that's right.
In other words, he took it over in such a time.

(01:20:27):
He And when they say Trump left us with this
and left us with a bad stock market and bad unemployment,
it was COVID nineteen that did that. How can people
not take that into consideration?

Speaker 5 (01:20:39):
And people do take it in too consideration. Yeah, wellmart
I don't think that.

Speaker 3 (01:20:45):
No, not just the smart ones.

Speaker 5 (01:20:47):
I think the average person listening right now realizes when
they say, oh, we've had the biggest job growth ever,
Trump ran it into the ground, they know that was COVID.

Speaker 3 (01:20:56):
They're not morons. They were stuck in their house for
two years. Yeah, but you'd when they were having the debate,
how I mean, I saw CNN.

Speaker 5 (01:21:04):
I understand talking points. That's now I'm talking real people,
real people that are listening right now know what happened
with COVID. My god, you'd have to be dumb not
to well, of course, I just have more I think,
you know what I think.

Speaker 3 (01:21:18):
I think the average Joe's smarter than you do. How's that?
What do you mean smarter? I think they're smarter.

Speaker 5 (01:21:24):
They they're more logical than your thinking. I realize I
realized the talking points on MSNBC. But I'm telling you,
even if people are voting for Harris, I can't imagine
they believe the crap coming out of the mouth of
these people.

Speaker 3 (01:21:39):
Here are some raw numbers. If you take COVID nineteen
out of the mix and you take raw performance, the
S and P five hundred increased sixty five percent under
Trump's full term. Sixty Yeah, that's fake math because it
didn't happen, big deal, you must agree all that. No,

(01:22:03):
it actually did happen sixty five.

Speaker 5 (01:22:04):
Percent only over a period of his administration, and Biden's
went up forty eight percent. So the S and P
a craze over his no mark over his full term,
with much of the growth driven by corporate cuts into
regulation and.

Speaker 3 (01:22:20):
Boosted business investments. So it and so in other words,
Biden's was forty eight percent. But I would say that
people who feel like they're better off this four years
than the previous four years, I well, well, I'd like

(01:22:42):
people to tell us. But the problem is people can't
tell us without you know, spewing vulgarities and hate.

Speaker 5 (01:22:51):
The real bottom line is, and this is the part
that most people see the price of stuff is so
high right now. These prices are never gonna come down.
And it just doesn't even matter why. But the bottom
line is they spend too much money. I mean, that's true.
I'm okay, we got to take a break.

Speaker 7 (01:23:10):
Mark.

Speaker 3 (01:23:11):
They're climbing all over me for this, so I'm going
to take this break. I'm Tom Martino. We got more

Martino here, three three seven to one to three. Talk Tony.
You have a comment, Go ahead, Tony. What's going on
with you? Tony?

Speaker 21 (01:24:05):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 3 (01:24:06):
I can, sir. What's happening Tony?

Speaker 21 (01:24:09):
Did either of you watch the Al Smith Dinner last night?

Speaker 3 (01:24:13):
No? I did not. I watched some of the highlights.
Trump did really good.

Speaker 21 (01:24:17):
Yeah, I got to replay this joke he told it's clean,
clean enough for you. Quote Chuck Schumer is here looking
very glom. But look on the bright side, Chuck, considering
how woke your party has become. If Kamala loses, you

(01:24:39):
still have the chance to become the first woman president.
I thought that was a great joke.

Speaker 3 (01:24:49):
Yes, now listen, what was this dinner we're talking about.

Speaker 21 (01:24:55):
It's the annual Al Smith's Dinner put on by the
Archdiocese in New York.

Speaker 3 (01:25:00):
Wait wait, wait, wait, wait is that the one where
where Gaffikin was Yeah? Oh, okay, I was. I'm sorry
I didn't put that together.

Speaker 13 (01:25:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:25:08):
So they've done it every every election cycle forever. I
think the last time someone didn't show up. It was
like Bob Dole or Mondale or someone from years ago Mondale.
But I mean, like everybody shows up. Remember how contentious
Hillary and Trump were. They both showed up, they took
jabs at each other. But Kamala ran scared, decided not

(01:25:30):
to come send a little video.

Speaker 3 (01:25:33):
And I didn't even watch the little video. It was ridiculous,
and the archdiocese was pretty upset at her, and I
think she lost a lot of Catholic votes. Honestly, Well
that's odd that so that she really just snubbed them,
snubbed them.

Speaker 5 (01:25:52):
Wow, Like how Kramer snubbed Jerry's ex girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (01:25:59):
God, you remember that?

Speaker 6 (01:26:00):
Huh?

Speaker 3 (01:26:02):
Three zero three seven to one to three talk seven
one three eight two five five, Mark, you wanted to
bring up Garrett.

Speaker 5 (01:26:08):
I did want to bring up Garrett. Bring up Garrett
for us, Garrett I need. I haven't prepped anything with him.
I've been talking about eight eight eight heating forever, on
and off. In fact, Tom and I both have and
I got I'm pulling up my text right now. I
got a email. God, I'm so sorry. I this is

(01:26:29):
kind of right off the cuff here. Hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on, I gotta find it because I
want to say it verbatim for the listeners so they
what that's special you guys are doing for forty five bucks.
Everybody hears these specials all the time, and we honestly,
even though we advertise them, a lot of people we
know don't even think much about them because they're inundated
with them this time of year. But I got an email, Garrett,

(01:26:52):
from somebody that said, okay, boom, I'm going to read it,
but I'm going to leave one part out. Just had
eight eight eight heating come out for the inspection and clean,
and oh boy, do they ever do a great job.
The guy Joe Hannah. I assume that's one of your
tech s, Garrett. Very good, very knowledgeable, and the clean

(01:27:15):
was over two hours and way more in depth then
and I'm not going to say who it was, and
probably will use them for all future repairs and give
them a five star review. Now, I'm not going to
say who that was from, but it's someone I highly respect.

Speaker 3 (01:27:33):
And then the next day I got another one.

Speaker 5 (01:27:36):
So I don't know what you're doing for forty five bucks,
but I wanted you to tell people because there is
no one in the world that should not call for
this for forty five dollars, So what's the deal man, Well.

Speaker 11 (01:27:49):
Thanks for saying that, March, But what we got going
is our normal tune up we've been doing for years
is just really in depth already, and if we do
as much as we can do to make sure your
fur instance and operating properly for the winner. But what
we're really tired of is like our customers not getting
what they pay for anymore. You know, you can go
out to eat and everything's so expensive, a bad service.

(01:28:11):
I really just don't like that, right, So we hire
people with the servant's heart to train them well. And
what we normally did for forty five dollars for your listeners,
we're actually going to do it for thirty eight dollars.
They can find that actually on my website. But what
we decided to add is a complete blower cleaning, and

(01:28:33):
what we've normally charged four hundred dollars for we're actually
doing as part of our maintenance now and from here
on out, that's what we're doing. So we pull and
clean the dirt and debris out of your blower motor,
your blower wheel, and still do our technical tune up
on all the gas pressure airflow and just make sure
everything's running right. But we just want to make sure
that our customers and near listeners that got us to

(01:28:53):
where we are to actually get what they pay for.
Is do they got a good quality?

Speaker 3 (01:28:57):
Oh I can't believe for a forty five bucks.

Speaker 5 (01:29:00):
This guy that emailed me said, your guy was there,
tore it apart, cleaned everything, put it back together. Explain
the other stuff you guys do, and said, Look, you know,
if anything breaks air it wasn't like a sales pitch
or anything.

Speaker 3 (01:29:12):
Actually it is a sales pitch. And you know this
as well as I do.

Speaker 1 (01:29:15):
Tom.

Speaker 5 (01:29:16):
The bottom line is when you do a special like
this and you soft sell it and clean it and
give everybody just the best deal they ever got and
don't try to like upsell them everything, that is the
best sale in the world. Because when they do need something,
what are they going to do? Yeah, of course they're
going to call it back.

Speaker 3 (01:29:35):
While we have you on. As long as we have
you on, I'm gonna ask you this, and this is
really important. I know that a lot of people doing solar,
you guys have been doing heat pumps or dual systems
meaning gas slash electric And maybe you knew this, Garrett,
Do you know that they get to add that to

(01:29:55):
the price of the solar system and get a tax
credit on all of it.

Speaker 11 (01:30:01):
Yeah, it's a it's a really good deal. And I
got to do that for They got heat pump credits
on the city of Denver, Colorado, text all sorts of stuff.
You just got to look into it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:11):
And that's in addition to the solar credits. But I'm saying,
if you couple it with a solar system, man, it's
pretty damn cool. I mean, it's amazing to me. Yeah. So, Garrett,
thank you very much. I appreciate it. I know you
guys are growing fast. Uh and we we love having
you eight eight eight heating dot com. Say eight eight

(01:31:48):
to the show. Three three seven one three talk seven
one three eight two five five. I'm gonna bring up Drew.
I talked about it earlier in the show. I got
an email where he's laying a guilt trip on me
for not living up to my promise. I tried to
log into that damn thing three or four times. It
won't let me without entering without entering a verification code,

(01:32:10):
which is sent to his cell phone, and he said,
why don't you put your cell phone in and manage
it from there. I'm not going to do that. I'm
not going to put my cell phone, nor my email
address or anything. I told him. What I would do
is edit the description where I feel it would make
a better appeal than the one he has. What I
might do is simply email him that description and he

(01:32:33):
can copy and paste it. I'm not going to get
involved directly in collecting money or having my cell phone
or my email on a gofund me site. So, Drew,
is that what you wanted to talk about.

Speaker 22 (01:32:46):
Yes, First of all, time, you did promise you were
going to take over the sign, and you were also.

Speaker 3 (01:32:52):
Going to know no, no, Drew, I never said I
was going to take it over once in my life.
What I said was give me your login credentials. I
will go in and edit it for you and make
a better appeal for you, because the one you have
up there is too political and incendiary and it's not
going to work. I never said I was going to

(01:33:13):
take over the account. I will not do that. And
if that's what you heard, that is part of your problem,
because you're not hearing correctly.

Speaker 22 (01:33:24):
First of all, you also said you were going to
advertise it.

Speaker 3 (01:33:29):
I said I would let people know about it, and
I will, And I never said, are you going to
acknowledge that? I never said I was going to take
it over.

Speaker 22 (01:33:41):
And our last conversation, you gave a strong impression.

Speaker 3 (01:33:46):
Okay, goodbye, Drew. I never want to talk to you again. Goodbye.
I'm sorry. This is it. You know what, Drew, You
got a big problem and it's not me. Goodbye, Okay, goodbye,
I'm done. I never said I'm gonna take over his GoFundMe.
In fact, I even told you it was not going

(01:34:07):
to work. You need to do something else, Drew. You
are a walking disaster. For years, you have been suing
people and suing people, and suing people and suing people,
and now it's all caught up with you. You're injured,
you ran out of money, and now you're hoping your

(01:34:28):
latest lawsuits will support you. They will not. Neither will
a go fund me site. I will. I will send
you by email a description that I believe you should
copy and paste to your GoFundMe site. I will do
you that. Tell him that Kelly off the air, and

(01:34:49):
then I will block your email because I'm not going
to be guilt tripped into that. Okay, I'm not gonna
do it. Three three seven to one three talk seven
one three eight two five five. Man, I just you know,
what were you gonna say?

Speaker 13 (01:35:07):
Mark?

Speaker 3 (01:35:07):
I told you so, right, I say something, But anyway,
Mark was busy with pizza. Oh oh oh okay, anyway,
let's go back.

Speaker 5 (01:35:15):
I heard it in there, man, And the only part
I disagree with is you told him you were going
to log in and do everything from here out.

Speaker 1 (01:35:25):
Mark.

Speaker 3 (01:35:26):
Mark, don't don't even fool with him, because he doesn't.
That is not something to do. I know. No, no, seriously,
because he thinks that we have some conspiracy against him.
Not what I said was. I did say I would
log in and I would change the description for him.
He needed help making his appeal. I could not log
in because it asks for a verification code sent to

(01:35:51):
a Celfih you know, you know what you should do.
And I'm sure he'll be listening to this. Seriously, you
should write him that front paragraph and send it to
him and he connected it. Yeah, No, I'm going to
he can copy and paste it. I'm gonna send him
a description that would be better than the one he has.
The one he has will never get him money.

Speaker 20 (01:36:11):
Hey, Tom, he's back on the phone. He'd like to
address the wuted because we gave him the lawyer's name
and phone number and also his phone number, and he
hasn't heard anything.

Speaker 7 (01:36:26):
Guess what we did call the attorney. Yeah, I called
the attorney. We did call the attorney, spoke with him, Drew,
We called your attorney and we spoke.

Speaker 3 (01:36:34):
To him for a long time. Okay, Oh, Tom, we
did talk to you. Did you hear me?

Speaker 22 (01:36:41):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:36:41):
No, no, you know what, Drew. You You do a
lot of talking, but you don't do listening. So first acknowledge,
did you hear me say we called your attorney?

Speaker 16 (01:36:53):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:36:54):
Do you believe that we called your attorney as.

Speaker 22 (01:36:58):
Of this morning? Said, we don't want to call them
for Well.

Speaker 3 (01:37:01):
Guess what, he's a liar and you're a liar. Goodbye.

Speaker 8 (01:37:04):
Let me correct that I spoke with him this morning, Yes,
not yesterday. I spoke with him this time. It was
nine forty our time, so New Jersey would have been
eleven forty.

Speaker 3 (01:37:15):
Eleven forty New Jersey time. We talked to him, Okay, Drew,
mister Van atten ju. We talked to your attorney, so
we found out what would the attorney say? Well, okay,
the first of all, the attorney said, even though he
was given permission to talk to us, he does not
want us publishing facts of the case. So he told

(01:37:39):
us about the case enough to know. Here's what we
do know about the case. Okay, without good giving specifics,
it's going to be a long time before it's settled.
If it is. Okay, we do know that, Drew. So
it's not something that's going to come to your rescue
in twenty twenty five. Okay, so you got a problem.

(01:38:03):
That's what I'm trying to get across to you. You
may think I'm being mean to you, Drew, but I'm
probably one of the few people in your life that
will confront you and tell you the truth. Is he there.

Speaker 22 (01:38:18):
You don't have to take over the site. I got
that impression, but just advertise it.

Speaker 3 (01:38:24):
I will. I will as soon as I fix the description.
I'm going to email you the description so you can
copy and paste it in. Do you know how to
do that?

Speaker 22 (01:38:35):
I don't know anything about computers.

Speaker 3 (01:38:37):
How did the first one get made?

Speaker 22 (01:38:40):
The librarian did it?

Speaker 3 (01:38:42):
And Okay, she did not come up with the wording
about Kamala.

Speaker 22 (01:38:45):
Right, it's my words.

Speaker 3 (01:38:48):
Okay, Then if I send you better wording, would you
send it to your librarian to upload it.

Speaker 22 (01:38:55):
Yes, I'll show it to them. And I want to
tell you something. One of your listeners sent me seventy
five dollars and sent because they hope that Tom Artino
will continue to help me on the go fundme.

Speaker 1 (01:39:08):
Well you listen.

Speaker 3 (01:39:09):
Oh that's wonderful, Drew. I want to help you, but
you don't understand something. And I'm going to say it
once again, this will not be your answer. You need
at seventy seven years old with limited income. You have
a pension for disability, and you have Social Security. Since

(01:39:32):
you have no other means of income, you need to
leave New Jersey and find a place where you can
live cheaper.

Speaker 1 (01:39:43):
Since you can't telling.

Speaker 22 (01:39:44):
Me, Tom, thank you for telling me. I appreciate it,
But I can't leave now. My attorney told me is
coming to trial in six months. I can't be two
thousand miles away.

Speaker 3 (01:39:55):
Okay. If it comes to trial in six months, do
you understand Dan that that could go on for two
to three years.

Speaker 22 (01:40:03):
Do you know that if we win the jury trial.
I think that will end it.

Speaker 3 (01:40:08):
In the meantime, how much do you think you're going
to get drew?

Speaker 22 (01:40:12):
I've never had this before. I have a crippled right
handed right arm. I have two harniated disks okay, and
a correct contractor's foot and an injured net.

Speaker 3 (01:40:22):
And that's all from walking into the tailgate of an suv.

The guy back to his car over the.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah cool man.

Speaker 16 (01:44:08):
Well, I wanted to get money donated to him, and
I told him to the only thing I said to
him was Tom Martinos, the best I've been to a
few of his seminars. Hopefully my donation will get the
ball rolling. Yeah, please clean up the plea. It will
help you more.

Speaker 3 (01:44:24):
Yeah. Now, I just started working on the plea. Here's
where I am so far. But why why are you calling?

Speaker 16 (01:44:32):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:44:32):
Are you wanting a refund?

Speaker 11 (01:44:34):
No, he's come on, come on, well Mark, that's a
good question.

Speaker 1 (01:44:40):
But no, I.

Speaker 16 (01:44:42):
I'm opposed to his age. I wish I could be more.

Speaker 3 (01:44:45):
Now here's here's what I started writing. My name is
Drew Bradford, a retired pastor who has dedicated my life
to spreading the good news of the Bible. I was
very active well into my seventies until I was injured
by a freak actioncident due to what I believe was negligence. Unfortunately,

(01:45:05):
pursuing damages through the courts could take years. Meanwhile, at
seventy seven years old and disabled from the accident, I
am unable to work. My income from Social Security is
not enough to make my limited expenses, and I have
exhausted my savings. Then I'm going to go on and
it'll be the end, but it's going to be way,

(01:45:28):
way better than the one that's up there now that
talks about how Kamala Harris, because she is giving all
the money to illegal aliens, has made him broke. I mean,
he never once mentioned being injured his life's work anything,
So that is wait, wait, in all honesty, maybe that

(01:45:50):
is what he should have up there. Mark, no one's
going to donate to him, Okay, if he has, if
he keeps the description the way it is, I'm trying
to make an appeal to a broader audience because he's
down on his luck. And let me bring up Drew. Drew,
that's I got started on it. I'm going to email
that to you.

Speaker 6 (01:46:10):
You can give that to your phone.

Speaker 22 (01:46:12):
Let me apologize. We had a misunderstanding, and as a Christian,
I believe we should just I should forget about it.
I appreciate that you're going to try to publicize it
and we leave.

Speaker 11 (01:46:24):
It as that.

Speaker 3 (01:46:25):
Yeah, But by the way, this description that I read,
did you hear it?

Speaker 22 (01:46:29):
It's a lot better than mine.

Speaker 3 (01:46:31):
Well, yours is too political, and I think it sounds
a little angry. And by the way, there's nothing wrong
with you holding any belief you want, but when you're
making an appeal to people to donate to you. How
do you blame Kamala Harris for your financial difficulties?

Speaker 19 (01:46:48):
Of people?

Speaker 22 (01:46:48):
Who was in the paper in New Jersey today, the
Post and the Daily News the legal aliens are murdering
people to get free rent. This one illegal alien is fifteen.
He's got nine criminal charges against some separate and they
keep letting him out and he gets a free rental apartment.
He's illegal, free health insurance, free car insurance, and an

(01:47:13):
old citizen like me, I don't get anything.

Speaker 3 (01:47:17):
But by the way, that's all being published by the
Daily News and the Post and New York will will
vote overwhelmingly democratic.

Speaker 22 (01:47:26):
What can I say? You know your buddy there, Mark.
I agree with Mark much of the time.

Speaker 3 (01:47:31):
Oh, you know you and Mark want to do a
show together. I'm going to propose that time. Yeah you
proposed that, Thomas. Yes, anyway, Drew, thank you. I'm going
to send this to you by email. I gotta go.
I wish you the best. I just want you to
take other action in addition to this. I would not
stick around New Jersey on the hopes that that lawsuit's
going to pay out. I'm telling you you can come

(01:47:53):
back if it goes to trial and you need to
come back, but you need to go somewhere cheaper. Tyler,
you want to talk about an issue with your starter
on a twenty sixteen Ford Escape. What's going on? Tyler?

Speaker 19 (01:48:08):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (01:48:08):
Man, dude, I've been through the ringer? Can you hear me?

Speaker 3 (01:48:10):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:48:11):
I ken?

Speaker 3 (01:48:11):
What's going on?

Speaker 18 (01:48:15):
Jeez?

Speaker 3 (01:48:15):
Man? This car has been a well tell me tell
me this. First of all, how long have you owned it?

Speaker 19 (01:48:22):
Uh?

Speaker 18 (01:48:22):
Maybe three is years or so?

Speaker 3 (01:48:24):
And did you you bought it used then? Right? Yes,
of course you did if you only.

Speaker 18 (01:48:28):
Had twenty sixteen. Yeah, and you say you've.

Speaker 3 (01:48:31):
Been through the ringer? Now, what's going on with it?
We got Jeff Vick with us. Let's talk about it.

Speaker 18 (01:48:39):
First of all, Like within the first like year and
a half, the transmission blue and that was an eight
grand six?

Speaker 3 (01:48:47):
Did you back then when you bought it three years ago?
Did you get it checked out?

Speaker 1 (01:48:54):
I didn't.

Speaker 18 (01:48:54):
I didn't take it to any place.

Speaker 3 (01:48:55):
No.

Speaker 18 (01:48:55):
I figured that they would have done the due diligence
of that.

Speaker 3 (01:48:58):
Well, that's wrong. That's your biggest mistakes. So okay, how
many miles were on it?

Speaker 18 (01:49:04):
About like sixty five thousand?

Speaker 3 (01:49:07):
Well that wasn't terrible at all. So okay, So you
bought a twenty sixteen Ford a scott Escope or Escape
for sixty five thousand miles. Yeah, sixty five thousand miles,
and you had a transmission and what else?

Speaker 18 (01:49:24):
That was the main issue. I mean, that was eight grand.
I got laid off at the time. Maker can't tell
me they weren't renewing the lease. So I got kicked
out of my place. What's it called? Yeah, I was
making really good money as an.

Speaker 3 (01:49:39):
How much should you say you spent on that transmission?

Speaker 18 (01:49:42):
Eight grand?

Speaker 14 (01:49:44):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (01:49:44):
Yeah? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:49:45):
The car was thirteen yeh yes, eight grand.

Speaker 4 (01:49:51):
Depending on where he got it done. And you know,
if there's just in stalln boxing this and that's actually
a pretty reasonable price.

Speaker 3 (01:49:56):
And did you pay that tyler?

Speaker 16 (01:49:59):
Yes?

Speaker 18 (01:49:59):
Unfortunately over it's over half of the price of the
car itself.

Speaker 3 (01:50:05):
Okay, what else then? What are you calling about today?

Speaker 14 (01:50:10):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:50:10):
I was.

Speaker 18 (01:50:11):
I was originally calling you guys because you guys were
on what's it uh our twelve It's like that donation
for cars and stuff, and it was linked to and
I was trying to find out the contact information and
it immediately led led me to you guys.

Speaker 3 (01:50:26):
Well, hold on now, hold on, we are associated with
some people who have car donations for certain things.

Speaker 1 (01:50:35):
We don't.

Speaker 3 (01:50:36):
We don't have people who just donate cars because people
can't afford a car.

Speaker 18 (01:50:41):
It's usually the donation of cars. It's like, it's like
what I called an automobile place, and they told me
that this company, I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:50:52):
There is a company that helps people right fix cars.
That's right. What's wrong with it? Right now?

Speaker 18 (01:50:59):
Right now? Within the past week and a half or so,
it's been sputtering and and like acting.

Speaker 3 (01:51:05):
Hold on, guys, can you hye care that for me? Okay,
put him on holds, tell him to mind his p's
and q's. We'll bring it back. We're gonna have to
wait to spool it up again. Let's take a break. Yeah,
but I want to say something, Okay, I'm not sure.
Look at these low cost auto repair places. I believe

(01:51:26):
it wasn't Hands of the Carpenter one of them.

Speaker 4 (01:51:29):
Yes, my high school friend operates that entire charity.

Speaker 3 (01:51:32):
Hands Okay, but isn't it for mainly single yeah, womenly.

Speaker 6 (01:51:36):
For single mother.

Speaker 3 (01:51:37):
Not mainly it is.

Speaker 6 (01:51:39):
It is exclusively for single mother.

Speaker 3 (01:51:41):
But are he mentioned R twelve? Almost? What's that? Doc?

Speaker 13 (01:51:47):
Just tell him to identify as a woman.

Speaker 3 (01:51:50):
Yeah, but he has to be a single mom. Yeah. Anyway,
that's going to be pretty difficult. Three oh three seven
three Tyler, listen, man, I'm not sure what we can
do to help, but let's talk about the issue first.
It may not be that major. And I'm really sorry
you're running through this. We'll talk to you right after this. Hi,

(01:52:24):
Tom Martino, your troubleshooter. Three three seven to one three
talk seven one three eight two five five. So I've
finished Drew's appeal. I'm going to email him. I'm not
going to bother reading the whole thing, but I did it,
and I'm hoping it will help him a little. Again,
I don't think GoFundMe should ever be your go to

(01:52:47):
plan for financial difficulties, as your only plan or your
first plan.

Speaker 13 (01:52:53):
I just got off the phone with Fan Duel. The
over under on his fund me is one hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:52:59):
What is that that mean? He said? Whether it'll make
any money? Well, I don't know. Let's see. Let's see anyway,
So did we? Uh? Okay? So so, Tyler, in addition
to the starter you had for eight thousand dollars, now
you're it's sputtering, right, Tyler, This isn't Tyler?

tell you.

Speaker 3 (01:57:48):
I was going to tell you, go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 23 (01:57:51):
In order for me to do anything that I tell account,
we have to buy some Tesla shares, the Tesla shares.

Speaker 3 (01:57:58):
Can I let me tell you what's going on so
I can just get through it. It's just a fake place, man,
yes it is. And and the money in there, you

Speaker 6 (01:58:17):
Is it?

Speaker 22 (01:58:18):
That?

Speaker 3 (01:58:18):
That actually is a pretty good little fishing scheme, honestly. Yeah.
If you go open up an account for.

Speaker 5 (01:58:24):
Free at a fake place, and then you look and
all of a sudden you have one point two million
dollars and you can access it if you simply buy
a couple shares of Tesla.

Speaker 23 (01:58:35):
That's right, ten share, which is two grand, and I
could not I verified the money.

Speaker 3 (01:58:42):
Well can you use that money or do you have
to put your own in? Well? No, I have to
use my own of course you Now, why would you
have to use your own if you have one point
two million in this account? Because you got to verify.
And here's let me explain what's going on. Obviously that
money is not going to buy stockets going into some
scammers pocket. Yeah, of course that in the in the

(01:59:05):
one point too, is completely fake.

Speaker 5 (01:59:07):
You're on a completely fake website that acts like it's
a schwab or something.

Speaker 3 (01:59:12):
It's totally fake. Exactly.

Speaker 6 (01:59:15):
You didn't link your bank account to this, did you?

Speaker 3 (01:59:17):
Did you link your bank account to this yet?

Speaker 1 (01:59:20):
Hell?

Speaker 3 (01:59:21):
No, good. You're smarter than you sound. I was. I
said you're smarter than you sound.

Speaker 21 (01:59:29):
Yeah, well, thank you. I was a little bit above
Horst gumps.

Speaker 3 (01:59:34):
That's a that's a compliment that you're smarter than you sound.

Speaker 13 (01:59:37):
Don't take offense. He tells me I'm dumber than I sound.

Speaker 3 (01:59:40):
And look, no, you're all right, Doc. You're smarter than
you what, You're way smarter than you look. Go ahead.

Speaker 11 (01:59:48):
Of me, you wish I.

Speaker 23 (01:59:50):
Could find out if the company comes up on a website.
I've talked to people in there.

Speaker 3 (01:59:55):
It's not true, bro, Why do you you want to
go after him? Is what you're looking at? Right?

Speaker 23 (02:00:00):
No, I'm the one point two million, but I'm not
gonna waste two thousand dollars to try to get it
to me.

Speaker 3 (02:00:06):
It's not real, bro, it's not real. And by the way,
I tried searching for you, I saw it. I tried
searching for not Boring ten and I don't get anything.
I saw him.

Speaker 23 (02:00:18):
Oh well it's on there.

Speaker 3 (02:00:21):
Yeah, not Boring ten.

Speaker 1 (02:00:24):
You know it's the number, no capital N, no spaces.

Speaker 5 (02:00:29):
You know what we could do for Dwayne or what
you could Tom, And I think you should just like
you did for Drew. Let's do a GoFundMe for one
point two million and you write the cover page and
we'll try to get him the money.

Speaker 23 (02:01:32):
Oh well, I was talking about my father when he
pathed away. He was seventy three, and he started with
this whole skit.

Speaker 1 (02:01:41):
He says, you know why I'm old slow, don't you?

Speaker 23 (02:01:43):
And people go, no, why are you slow? He says, well,
because I'm old, and he had a farm or a
ranch out here in Colorado's fights out Elikot they got burnt.
He says, when I die, I don't want to be criminated,
and he goes criminated. People go, what the hell did
you talk about it?

Speaker 15 (02:02:04):
He's just criminated.

Speaker 11 (02:02:05):
It's cremated.

Speaker 1 (02:02:06):
Seniors cannot say that.

Speaker 21 (02:02:08):
Word or understand it. And he goes.

Speaker 23 (02:02:10):
People go white because I blister ofs ill easily.

Speaker 3 (02:02:14):
And then he's sitting in his whelpair.

Speaker 18 (02:02:17):
I told this that is eulogy.

Speaker 23 (02:02:19):
You know what I think, I'm becoming mineralized. You're becoming mineralized. Okay,
he says, well, I got these are your teeth.

Speaker 11 (02:02:29):
Yeah, hold in my teeth and letting my ass.

Speaker 3 (02:02:36):
My god. Okay, sir, thank you for light, Thank you
for brightening our day. We certainly appreciate it. Anybody else
want to call it, we'll kind of call it. We're
not going to have car Friday. It's going to be
nut Day. Today is officially nut Day. So anybody want

(02:02:59):
to all with any other nutty stuff. Anyway, we got
Jeff fic kimmera transmission. Not that I mean he's one
of the nuts, but he's a.

Speaker 4 (02:03:10):
Background check.

Speaker 3 (02:03:11):
So yeah, yeah, So listen, you wanted to did you
ask your question about your car? Question? Not yet, I'd
love to real quick, yeah, and then we'll answer after
the break.

Speaker 8 (02:03:22):
Hey, Jeff, my car has the beloved A's and A
seven fifty transmission. It's a Toyota and as you know,
it specifies the Toyota WS fluid. Now, during a recent exchange,
I was offered an aftermarket BG fluid, and when I
looked at it, it's said that it's compatible with both
WS and ATF type T DASH four, which is the

(02:03:43):
previous version of Toyota's fluid. Now my question is this
since those two fluids are not compatible with each other.
How could a universal fluid be compatible with two things
that aren't compatible with each other to begin with, Well.

Speaker 3 (02:03:56):
That's a good question.

Speaker 4 (02:03:57):
Well, simply because it has the additive packages, meets the qualifications.

Speaker 3 (02:04:01):
For either one, they don't conflict.

Speaker 4 (02:04:03):
Yeah, and Toyota definitely doesn't want you using the old stuff.
First of all, is cheaper, So I mean, could you
get away with the other stuff? Yes, you probably could.
It is really you may get some shift complaints because
some of the additives, friction modifiers and whatnot aren't going
to be the same as the WS, so you can
always do better than an old but you know, you
usually don't want to use the old and try to
get the same.

Speaker 6 (02:04:22):
No, I would never dream of using anything but WS.

Speaker 4 (02:04:25):
My question is how we'll definitely qualify for that, because
because of the additive packages, and it's not just Toyota,
it's also going to roll over to Honda and all
the bunch of other manufacturers. There can be cases where
those additive packages will give you shift complaints, usually hard
shifts or slippy shifts or something like that, so they
don't recommend using it. But as long as those additive packages,
meet the original and EM you're in a good place.

Speaker 6 (02:04:48):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (02:04:49):
Wow, that's a good answer. Okay, we have more answers.
All we need are questions coming up on The Troubleshooter Show.
Three O three seven one three talk three oh three

(02:05:11):
seven one three eight two five five. All right, what's
going on in your life? Three oh three seven one
three talk? Look what I have? I so I have
somebody texted me a picture and I'm going to put
it up on YouTube. And they're trying to sell this
car and Jeff, he wants to know the best place
to sell this car. He calls it antique. It's no

(02:05:33):
excuse me, he calls it classic. I believe it's actually antique.
Antique is forty five years right or older? Or forty
years older somewhere? Run there anyway there it is? What
is that car? But and and those on YouTube can
see it, that's.

Speaker 4 (02:05:46):
A beautiful car. But I mean, that's that's going to
be a very special one.

Speaker 3 (02:05:49):
What kind of car?

Speaker 24 (02:05:50):
I don't even know what it is. He didn't say
what it is. He just said something he should. Actually,
my recommendation would be actually to reach out to Rod.
He's going to be a better lead on somebody who
is going to be able to be honest and help
him broker this car. He's not gonna want to sell
it on his own. I hope if he did all
the restoration on it, he is not expecting to recover
his money because you will not with you going to

(02:06:12):
you know, the restoration, the time, the money you put
into him, you will never recover on these restoration vehicles.

Speaker 3 (02:06:18):
I think the auction isn't that way.

Speaker 4 (02:06:21):
Probably going to be an auction type.

Speaker 3 (02:06:22):
Did you see it? Mark?

Speaker 1 (02:06:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:06:23):
Everybody can. Yeah. So anyway, Dave, you want to hear
a story, I don't know what you're talking about, but
go ahead, Dave.

Speaker 16 (02:06:31):
Ask wasn't there uncle game that Mark attended, Whether there
was an accident with a woman?

Speaker 3 (02:06:42):
Yes. I let Susan tell the story.

Speaker 25 (02:06:44):
Well, oh, Tommy, you know about this at the Raiders
game a few weekends ago.

Speaker 3 (02:06:49):
Go ahead, tell the show.

Speaker 25 (02:06:50):
Okay, Well, Mark, we were with some friends and they
had season tickets. They had the last four at the end,
so they scooched in and let me and Mark take
the end seats, And of course I let Mark take
the end end seat for more room, and he says, Hey,
I think someone spit on me. And then like within

(02:07:10):
a split second he realizes this poor woman, she was
splattering out her.

Speaker 3 (02:07:16):
Behind and it like down fifty steps tom. Then she
gets to the.

Speaker 25 (02:07:24):
Bathroom and splatters in there. They had to call the
paramedics and throw and shut down.

Speaker 3 (02:07:30):
I was having a diarrhea attack, right, It was worse
than that.

Speaker 25 (02:07:35):
It was worse than just a diarrhea tack.

Speaker 5 (02:07:37):
So wet as she's walking down the stairs, her pants
are so drenched.

Speaker 3 (02:07:41):
It's splattering over everybody in the aisle. Oh no, I
slipped and fell in it. Yeah, it was so god yeah,
I was.

Speaker 25 (02:07:51):
And people were leaving because it stunk so bad, even
though we were outside.

Speaker 3 (02:07:56):
I had to clear basically the section in disinfect the.

Speaker 25 (02:07:59):
Light talks waste, right, I mean, come on, it looked
like somebody had vomited all down the stairs.

Speaker 1 (02:08:05):
It was so bad.

Speaker 3 (02:08:07):
Was this a young woman or an old She wasn't young.

Speaker 13 (02:08:10):
It sounds to be like a typical day on labor
delivery wood.

Speaker 3 (02:08:15):
Mark. So there you have that, Dave, All right, Wow,
hope that makes should put a We should put a
hung up. He was eating lunch. We should have a
warning on that kind of stuff. Well, Dave, that's the story.
You wanted it, You got it. Now, I got a
text here. Hold on, let me go to this text
for Jeff about a transmission. Jeff, you said eight grand.

(02:08:41):
It could cost eight grand. So this person wants to
know the range for rebuilding a transmission, like like on
normal cars whatever that means.

Speaker 4 (02:08:51):
Yeah, I don't know if you can call anything normal.

Speaker 3 (02:08:53):
And you know, give me, give me the highest rebuild
you've you've told I'm not talking about like some exotic car,
but like the highest rebuild you've heard of.

Speaker 4 (02:09:02):
The highest I've ever done was probably a fifteen thousand.

Speaker 3 (02:09:04):
What the hell did you do for fifteen thousand? Without
getting vulgar, it was it was on a newer.

Speaker 4 (02:09:10):
And all actuality Dodge truck with what's called the A
S sixty nine r C. I mean they can definitely
be lower, but yeah, they can get up boards of
fifteen sixteen, seventeen thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (02:09:19):
What that that's truly for the transmission?

Speaker 4 (02:09:23):
Yeah, I mean I've done him for his low as
about nine That about like a big Ford F four fifty. Yeah, well,
the six R one forty. You're probably talking somewhere around
the ten eleven thousand dollars mark.

Speaker 3 (02:09:33):
Wow, holy crap, I mean that truly is what outrageous? Okay,
the most what's the lowest you've ever done? Oh yeah,
let's talk exotic. And the lowest I would have been tank. Actually, oh,
get out of here, I'm serious.

Speaker 16 (02:09:48):
I had a guy tank.

Speaker 4 (02:09:49):
It was a Sherman tank. The guy brought us three
core transmissions. He was actually restoring a tank, and so
we were able to get most of the parts we
were to get there. You'd be surprised what the military
still had available for purchase for us to actually can
finish finish building this tank.

Speaker 3 (02:10:02):
Did you even recognize it as a transmission?

Speaker 4 (02:10:04):
I had never seen any Well, yeah, of course I
recognized as a transmission, but I had never worked on
this unit before. Obviously, it's the one only time I did.

Speaker 3 (02:10:11):
And you didn't. You just rebuilt a trans you didn't
have the tank.

Speaker 4 (02:10:14):
Now the tank he was. This guy literally was just
bored and so he was going around having people work
on this tank refurbish a tank.

Speaker 3 (02:10:21):
That's crazy.

Speaker 4 (02:10:21):
And by the time he was done, this Sherman tank,
if you had the munitions, you could fire it. So
how he was done, he actually drove around all the
shots with this tank on a flatbed. Let us crawl
around it, spind the turret and so on and so forth.
And then when we were done, he drove it down
to Kentucky and donated to a You got him send his.

Speaker 3 (02:10:37):
Pictures of that.

Speaker 11 (02:10:39):
Ago.

Speaker 3 (02:10:40):
So, Jeff, I mean, let's talk about this. We talked
about electric motors being a direct drive meaning low, low voltage,
you know, low speed to torque about okay, So with
a gasoline engine, obviously we used transmissions. But when they
first did it was it like the electric where they

(02:11:01):
didn't have a transmission and it was just simply low throttle.
You start rolling, and.

Speaker 4 (02:11:06):
You still had to have a transmission. Obviously they started
off with stick shifts, so direct drive, okay, had to
be able to shift them back and forth. And then
when they first came out with.

Speaker 3 (02:11:14):
See that's just as remarkable as the as the internal
combustion engine. Seriously, the transmission it can.

Speaker 4 (02:11:21):
Yeah, they're very complicated and most engine guys won't work
on a transmission. Quite frankly, I've been doing so.

Speaker 3 (02:11:25):
There's no way that you could lay a motor sideways
and have a direct shaft. You you just can't do it?
How did like a steam engine works.

Speaker 4 (02:11:34):
Then they didn't have can you just have to be
able to a couple or uncouple the power some one.

Speaker 3 (02:11:38):
Way or another, right, like a clutch or some type.

Speaker 4 (02:11:41):
So when they first came out with automatic transmissions, you
didn't have a torque rever. You had was called a
fluid coupler. So instead they had a drive drive side
of pump side and a turbine side, so basically it
could slip in there you had a big hydraulics.

Speaker 3 (02:11:53):
Otherwise it would stall out every exactly.

Speaker 4 (02:11:55):
So then when you took your foot off the gap
or off the brake rather, you accelerated it and it
just through that fluid of the turbino side and forced
it to start turning slowly. They were a dog off
the start, but they weren't dream on the highway.

Speaker 3 (02:12:07):
So can you do that truly with clutches? It would
just wear them out all the time, right, Well.

Speaker 4 (02:12:12):
Yeah, I mean the clutch is a wearing part, just
like a break.

Speaker 3 (02:12:16):
Okay, So transmissions were they developed right around the same
time that the engines.

Speaker 4 (02:12:21):
Were pretty much you pretty well, not as engines, but
as far as the automobile's concerned.

Speaker 3 (02:12:25):
Yes, So the Model ten when they took out that
model Tea, when they were doing they had they had
to do a pretty sophisticated gear range.

Speaker 4 (02:12:34):
So you had a lot of different engineers working on
different parts of the car.

Speaker 3 (02:12:38):
Yeah. And when you think about I mean the technology
and where we've come today, my goodness. And then you
talk about the CBT, it's incredible. We got more coming
up on the Troubleshooter Show, Martino. You're trouble Shooter three
all three seven month three, talk about seven two five five. Okay,

(02:13:03):
let's go to the phones and find out what we
can do for you. And uh, we're going to wrap
up the show. Well, not just right this second. I
want to talk about this scam Marlene. What what do
you think's going on? Marlene?

Speaker 26 (02:13:17):
Hi, Hi, right, Well, I've been trodded by several different companies,
security cameras, plumbing companies. By the way, I'm going to
drop down that plumbing company. You just talked about, four
plumbing companies, three security camera companies.

Speaker 3 (02:13:34):
Well, my god, why are you being ripped off so much?

Speaker 26 (02:13:38):
Well, because I've been isolated. I live up in the foothills,
I live alone. My daughter had to move out as
a result of these nasty people. And when my husband died,
they just kind of came in and wanted me out
for whatever reasons. I'm sure it's all about money, right, Marlene?

Speaker 4 (02:13:57):
What do you mean?

Speaker 3 (02:13:59):
What do you mean they came in and wanted you out?

Speaker 26 (02:14:03):
They have been harassing me, stalking me, terrorizing me.

Speaker 3 (02:14:08):
Okay, okay, listen, let me ask you that. Hold on
one second, just one second. When when did you u
When did you get divorced?

Speaker 26 (02:14:18):
Oh, my husband died in twenty in twenty twenty.

Speaker 3 (02:14:22):
Is that when it started? Marlene?

Speaker 15 (02:14:25):
It's practically the day, Yes, exactly.

Speaker 3 (02:14:28):
Marlene, Marlene, listen, please listen, Okay, I promise you. I
just want you to listen. I don't want you to
jump to conclusions or think that I think that there's
something wrong with you. But many times emotional traumas bring
on feelings of paranoia, or feelings of persecution, or feelings
like this, and sometimes they're exaggerated a bit because of

(02:14:53):
what you have been through. And you say your daughter
moved out? Did she? Did she ever mention that some
of this maybe wasn't real.

Speaker 26 (02:15:03):
No, moved out because of it.

Speaker 3 (02:15:06):
Can you give me an example of how you were
being terrorized.

Speaker 26 (02:15:11):
Okay, okay, last night example, I hate to call the
sheriff because to just.

Speaker 3 (02:15:18):
Go ahead, what happened last night? What happened?

Speaker 26 (02:15:20):
I had to call the sheriff because there were folks
in the backyard. I could hear them, and my dog
was born nuts. And I know those animals too.

Speaker 3 (02:15:27):
We have bars and all that. What were they doing
in the backyard? What were they doing?

Speaker 19 (02:15:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:15:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 26 (02:15:34):
I don't know exactly. I know that I've had tens
of thousands of dollars worth of materials stolen from.

Speaker 19 (02:15:41):
My backyard, my all my deck wood and all my firewood, and.

Speaker 1 (02:15:46):
I mean a lot of things.

Speaker 3 (02:15:48):
Just doing Kelly, get her name and number. I want
to get her back on the show. Okay, put her
on hold right now. We're running out of time. Jeff Fick,
thanks for being here. Transmissions Denver dot com. He's at
three oh three six nine three fourteen hundred. Remember, folks,
save all your problems for me.
